FREE VERSE Poem: In Your Eyes, by Richard Bell

Whether in your eyes or in the night
sky, I need the stars
to guide me.

To show me the way home to your
heart, to your sturdy
arms that hold me in the only solid
peace I have ever
known and I can sleep without waking.

For how can night let us sleep without
the stars to watch
over us?

How can love let us fall without arms
to catch us?
