Stardust Poem by Jim Yerman

"Don't ever be afraid to cry." he said, much to my surprise
as we walked along the beach one night...and he looked into my eyes.

"When your heart is filled with sadness, it's like when darkness fills the air...
the stars drift down from heaven and entangled in your hair

and as your tears blend with the stardust and cascade gently to the land
it's your tears that fill the ocean...while your stardust forms the sand."
