Image for the poem YOU ARE

YOU ARE

YOU ARE A SKY
FULL OF STARS
STARS THAT SHINE SO BRIGHT
THAT ILLUMINATE MY PATH

YOU ARE MY TRUE NORTH
ONE THAT MY COMPASS
DESPERATELY SEEKS TO FIND
TO ALIGN MY PATH
AND LEAD ME HOME

YOU ARE A RED ROSE
CLOTHED IN THORNS
OF IMPERFECTIONS
NO ONE CAN DENY YOUR ALLURE
NOR THE GRACE OF YOUR BLOOM

YOU ARE THE BALM OF GILEAD
ONE THAT SOOTHE MY FAINTING SOUL
AND BORE IN ME
A FOUNT OF HOPE

YOU ARE A POLARIS
IN THE CONSTELLATION OF STARS
YOU  ARE  SO DISTINCT  AND UNIQUE
THE CELESTIALS WORSHIP  AND ADORE YOU

YOU ARE THE  GUARDIAN OF MY GALAXY
WAGING  WAR ACROSS THE  TERRITORY
YOU KEEP EVIL AT BAY
WITHOUT LIGHT SABERS AND RIFLES
 
YOU ARE A MELODY
A SEQUENCE OF NOTE THAT RUNS
LIKE THAT OF THE ANGELIC CHORISTERS
YOUR MELODY IS A PANACEA
TO HEARTS SO  BROKEN LIKE MINE

YOU ARE THE LIGHT
THAT LIES
AT THE END OF LIFE'S PITCH BLACK TUNNEL
BECKONING  ME INTO A BRAND NEW  LIFE 

YOU ARE YOU
THE U IN YOU
MAKES YOU
THE YOU ,YOU ARE
