don’t worry, starshine

the human soul, being of majesty

is unconquerable. the projectiles of destruction

add only to its strength, since a simple soul can

withstand the power of a thousand suns

and a thousand moons.

but a brilliant soul

will weave them into a sparkling galaxy.

a star can only be defeated

by death.

no matter what comes close

the soul will be unbowed

tall, a flame

burning deepest in the void.
