Star Gazing and Future Night Dreamings

Star Gazing and Future Night Dreamings I the gazer,that so admire glimmering stars on summer nights Transfixed, and burning deeply from each beckoning call; Sky filled with such divine and twinkling galactic sights, A most beautiful blessing gifted to inspire humans one and all Stand I briefly, on an earthly and lonesome glistening plane; With mighty oceans that hold great mysteries and golden treasures; Yet the sky's brilliant shining wonders keep me sane, And are by far one of my admired and greatest pleasures. Forests that rest beneath that glittering starlight glow, Are beauties that need its far illuminating lights, Glimmering stars on summer nights, show more than we may know; As we in wonder, see infinity in sparkling, starry heights; Out there far into eternity's vast reaching infinite shores, We may yet find our destiny upon another earthly realm, For our great dreams and future hopes are not sold in stores; Nor achieved by sailing ships with no captain at the helm. And man, that found great use for galactic posts to navigate. May yet in his heart, far away, conquer his weakness of hate! Robert J. Lindley, 12-03-2015

My friend, never sell yourself that short--you have massive depth to go to when need arises. It shows in every poem that you post here. However, to write in collaboration, a suggestion is that, you could send me one of your gems at the halfway point and I would strive with your help to finish it. Any length half poem from 8 to 16 verses. Consider this as an open offer as my third offering is complete , using multiple co-writers. For now on, I will only write with individual poets on single individual poems-- with no duplications. Would be my honor to compose a poem with you..

A star gazer! Just proves a stronger poetic heart my friend! For stars are sirens that sing, come to me, touch me, write about me, inspire me and never deny your heart! If can not reach me -then sing to me in great poetic words! For as you see me, I can hear you...
