The stars gaze patiently <br />When I tell them, it is your eyes <br />They are trying to imitate <br />In all their reflected fires <br />When I whisper a secret <br />It's in your words I say it <br />You saturate every fabric <br />With converse threads <br />Of your most commonly rare being <br />You made the world a worship <br />Of all that's you <br />In your disparate phenomenon <br />So that your countenance <br />Is ever visible <br />In the faint highlight <br />Of every other eye <br />And every eye, a lover.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-stars-gaze-patiently/
