DUSO*

This star
was born with you

enclosed
within your breast

(it is your namesake)  
to follow you
through life

and die only with
your own death.

Burn brightly

with the love
you are

made of.

Burn brightly

make love
the only thing

worth
living for.
*Duso....meaning “Love”...but literally  “Soul” in Serbian.

In Serbian mythology we are all born with a star that goes with us through life and leaves us with our Death.
