Eyes in the Stars

I look at everyone’s eyes and see stars in them

I see friends embracing as if galaxies are merging

I see people like trees with stories and ideas written on their leaves

Trees with many trunks but one root like the aspen tree

I wish dark matter was not pulling planets and suns apart

I can sense the gravity that should be

pulling everyone closer

Yet the universe is expanding

And humans are polarizing and separating
