Guardian Angel (You) by Valerie Parente
You always felt
like someone was with You
watching You
experiencing You
empathizing with You.
You today
watches past You
and everything
You’ve gone through
just as future You
watches You today
and everything
You will ever face.
It is, was, and will always be You.
Guardian angels are real
and You are living proof.

The Timing of The Stars by Valerie Parente
The light from a star has been conspiring
to make its way to you in due time;
traveling through the cosmos
to reach your eyes.
The constellations give you exactly what you need
at the perfectly right time;
whether you are ready or not
is just a state of mind.
Looking back on the past
everything always makes sense
so why not put your faith
in the future past, called present?

Starry Eyed by Valerie Parente
Stardust on my eyes
pretend I am surprised
by the darkness of the night
when you know damn well I’m starry eyed.
I would never see
the constellations and their beauty
without the contrast of the night
black like the pupils in my eyes.
Rejoice my friend
this is all our eyes’ reflection
light and dark are the same principle
and from here on out you are invincible.
