The sight of stars in growing dark
Lends the soul a comfort still
Knowing darkness will not fill
The night completely; no, a spark
Is always there, no matter where
Your thoughts may lead you; blank and stark.
The doubt will come again, it will--
But stars will light your dreamer's heart.

For day 21. An octain refrain inspired slightly by: "For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of stars makes me dream." --Van Gogh I'm getting caught up. 65 out of 80 pages written for term papers. I cannot wait to be done with this semester.... it's destroyed my brain.
