We Belong to the Stars

I look up to the stars  
and think of us
because that is where we belong  
our thoughts surpass  
all of this land  
and our minds  
pass the bottom of the earth.  
We are deep thinkers  
and heavy sleepers  
our souls carry burdens  
from a thousand lives  
the stars tell our stories  
and read our signs  
as we speak out  
thoughts unfed    
we grow lighter  
and travel upward  
Our intuition isn't held  
Captive by gravity  
I see the stars  
and think of us  
our minds in sync  
our flesh once forged  
we are transient  
yet these moments last  
our souls understand  
empathy is louder  
than then rest of  
any hollow feelings  
when we are left  
solitary  
But the stars  
are where we belong  
the earth holds no wisdom  
for us  
desert lands  
we are roamers  
weasels in tunnels  
Crawling in unexplored  
Thought processes and patterns  
Most are afraid to find  
survival swallowed  
by feeling  
depth  
we belong to the stars.
