Light

You are not a soul
searching for light
you are a star
remembering
it has always burned
the sky does not ask you
to remain the constellation
you were yesterday
it teaches you
that even the heavens
are forever becoming
to trust the unseen tide
that keeps calling your name
through silence
through longing
through wonder
you were never meant
to arrive at yourself
you were meant
to unfold
like dawn
across an endless sky
to become so wholly yourself
that creation recognizes
its own light
looking back
