the hawk that found the stars

those eyes
that light
born from the black mystery that is the universe
they smile when they see his mother's eyes
they smile when they see his father's eyes
those who have brought him into this world
the character of them, the glow of his innocent face
the bond he is
the beauty from the beauty
of his mother and father's loving embrace

he will carry their spirit when they are gone
and their love and names he will carry on
his soul, a hawk that will glide over the land
carrying the secret of life
he has felt holding his mother and father's hand

and here he is
a life setting out
a light ushered forth
into the universe's great black mystery
