The Milky Way

don't look for that
perfect time and place
to look out into
the Milky Way;
the stars are here
the darkness is here
right here, in us,
why look away?
when you look to the sky
each glorious night,
and wonder where the Light is,
stop for a moment
beneath the heavens,
and know,
the Milky Way
is right here -
where your heart is.
