Same Star

brush the night with mind
and you will find
that all of humankind
across this world that's
your's and mine
touch their fingertips upon
the same dark sky
as you and I

kiss the evening breathless
with the moon so restless
from night sky so endless
and you'll soon discover that
your desire slips across the lips
of other souls that sip
eager of the silver bliss
from the self-same cresent chalice

reach to touch the points of light
scattered diamond bright
across the wings of your life's flight
and in that dark of darks you'll see
that all the kinds that we can be
the fragile joys we share
the constant limits that we dare
all the differences we are
are nothing but
the same bright star
