Light streaks
screaming, sighing,
crying for Joy!
upward,
rising higher
shining brighter.
Soon it reaches
the threshold of Love
speeding across the Universe
as fast as folds of light from the Sun.
And somewhere
a Quantum Leap away
a bug-green, li'l alien boy
hooks his claws to the sky and sighs,
"Look, Mama. Another star in the sky!"
And, see,
all it was
was your smile.
