True Stars

Take me out to the
clear open whole place
I'm not safe here
with all this brick and mortar
devoid of serenity
minus any soul
True stars to greet me
open sky of hope and soul
Statues and mortuaries
buried past that does
not breathe

Let me leave --
that night sky has
a silent song for me
Let me drown inside
that open sound
silent and alive
There I will go
inside that open sound
silent and alive
