Beautifully Sad

By: Valerie Winkle

bright shades
of grace
touch his face
as the
stars hide
in soft express
behind his
sad eyes

dwelling in
translucent
soft light
they reveal
the drab onus
haunting his heart

heaven cries
golden comets
glittering his soul
in perfect
angelic halo

...and the stars
no longer
hide they
forever shine
within his
beautiful eyes
