In The Stars Above

"Love is a star that comes unbidden."

                                            Quote by_ Constance
            

The stars above are a blanket of diamonds in the night,
      like candles flickering in the wind;
God's beautiful lanterne shining and winking,
          like a thousand heavenly eyes watching me.
A celestial orchestra of movement and beauty above,
      a harmonious melody soothing;
swaying and drifting, swirling, twinkling,
           like a ballet to a tune only the stars can hear.

I wish that I could reach out and touch the stars above me,
      though, I know in reality they are far away;
they seem so close in the night sky blinking,
          oh, to cradle one like a precious gem from heaven. 
I smell the thick, sweet smell of honeysuckles in the air,
     and the smell of rain that is coming soon;
as a thousand shining eyes from above blink again,
           the smells of the night wrap around me with warmth.

Are the stars heavenly guides in that speckled dome,
     our loved ones gone but watching us;
I taste my tears as I whisper 'love you forever',
           and those pinpricks of light nod back to me from above.
Pearls of beauty like scattered moondust in the night,
      moving fluid and graceful like a willow swaying;
like kisses of love from heaven in the night,
            I would like to set sail among those stars above.

Lin Lane Date: 8/5/2025 9:03:00 AM Constance, as enthralled as I was with every one of your celestial lines, your last four made me want to read more. Heartache can seem less painful when the stars see our sorrow and seem to wink at us. Good luck with this one in Mile 3. ;-) Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 8/5/2025 9:29:00 AM Lin, thank you for your lovely comment, and compliment, and for the encouragement, appreciate, blessings, Constance
