It is a joy to share with you a poem this month by Lisa Rothman, “Dreaming Ace”, who is a freelance blogger, poet, and storyteller. Her poem is timely at any moment that hope and faith are challenged. During a time in our history that will be marked by the global unrest with the pandemic, racial injustices, and collapsing institutional systems. Lisa is also featured on our Community page where you can learn more about her and her art of writing.

Knowing we have come from stardust, 

And we shall belong to starlight once again

We walk forward, step by step by step

Through rains which wash us clean

Through winds which blow us off course

Through thunderstorms which light the skies

 

Knowing we have come from stardust, 

And we shall belong to starlight once again

We walk forward, step by step by step

Embracing the darkness

Embracing the light

Embracing the multifaceted gray in between

 

Knowing we have come from stardust, 

And we shall belong to starlight once again

We walk forward, step by step by step

 

Knowing Belonging

Knowing Excellence

Knowing Joy

 

Knowing we have come from stardust, 

And we shall belong to starlight once again

We walk forward, step by step by step

We are Worthy

We are Beloved

We are LOVED

 

Knowing we have come from stardust, 

And we shall belong to starlight once again

We walk forward, step by step by step

Into what shall be to come

Into what can not be known

Into what magic we can not say
