Poetry Challenge Day 28: Looking Back

Like Stars


We all are walking portraits of our past
Decisions etched in the lines on our brow
Thoughts collected at the edges of our lips
One can view the storms we have endured 
In the rhythm of our gaits
Scars record the pain of violence
The slope of our shoulders reveal the weight
Of our dreams and the acceptance of others

We are like stars
Each our own unique constellation in the life sky
Moving from dawn to dusk
Remember that
When we meet face-to-face
You are gazing back in history
My past shining in front of you
Just like a star
