Birth Of A Star

brick upon brick,
every action a wave,
every thought, every desire,

every dream an ending,
and a beginning...
every word spoken

clothing countless words
unsaid, not conceived.
every touch a grain of sand

on an unknown beach.
every fire built in the night
finally swallowed by darkness...

darkness unto darkness,
and only memory ignites
the birth of a star!
