The Gleam (2013)

Have you met them, the ones with the gleam in their eye?
There is something about them that cannot be told:
They live in the world, but they dwell in the sky,
Their bodies decline, but they never grow old.
They suffer like us, and like us they will cry
When the pain is too much, they are cowards and bold;
They are like us except for that gleam in their eye
That tells of a power that nothing can hold.
They are seekers in spite of their many mistakes,
And their faith perseveres through their follies and doubts,
For they trust that no matter the time that it takes
To explore all the infinite possible routes,
They will find it: their path, with the very same gleam
That shines like the stars in their eyes when they dream.
