“There Will Be Stars

There will be stars over the place forever;
Though the house we loved and the street we loved are lost,
Every time the earth circles her orbit
On the night the autumn equinox is crossed,
Two stars we knew, poised on the peak of midnight
Will reach their zenith; stillness will be deep;
There will be stars over the place forever,
There will be stars forever, while we sleep.”
― Sara Teasdale, Dark of the Moon

“But all the magic I have known
I've had to make myself.”
― Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends
