My Reverie

i wonder if you've travelled past billions of stars
hearing my faint howl calling you,
for yours was the hand i needed,

i'm blessed ever by the 20th of second moon,
 the day we met is my absolute bliss,
many left you with your heart swollen,
 few looked into your eyes,
always striving for the happiness
and for that you're the bravest,

i have watched you under sunlight,
quiet and vulnerable,
yet they walked you through the fire,
you're the star they couldn't see,
you forged yourself with the very same fire that burnt you,

only if you could see yourself with my eyes,
you'd see the cosmos at your fingertips
and fumes of your compassion beyond the universe!
