Poem
If I were a star, lighting up the night Filling hearts with joy and hope Inspiring souls to listen to the silence That breathes a caress across the spirit Whispering kindness to the listener If I were a star… I’d look down to those soft wishes Made on my twinkling shimmer Enlightening the heart with a quiver Of intimate hues that shadow the sparkle With halos of pure, untainted love If I were a star… Famous for the wishes that come true After they’ve been given a sigh to Encourage the believer to keep trusting Imagining, creating, giving and praising With a heart that knows unending faith If I were a star… I’d answer the heart who truly heard My plea for them to give all they could From the kindliness, where joy withstood The test of time, trial and tribulation Growing more alive and more faithful If I were a star… My fame would be told all over the world Reminding the one who takes a moment To murmur a prayer, a hope, a wish For inspiration, serenity and grace To be a way of life, a reason for praise If I were a star… I’d reach out to you wherever you are And free your doubts from their gloom Revealing the wonder found in truth The pearls of great worth discovered Inside the one who believes, never giving up If I were a star, glittering and shining Across the darkest sky… reflecting the vibrant Dance of glistening, lively luminosities I would scatter charms of elation wherever My light happened to blaze with its flame of euphoria If I were a star, as famous as the sun and moon I’d reach out to your heart with the hope That you would listen to the light of my reflection And know that you are someone deserving Of all my dazzling, glistening, flashing exhibits If I were a star… I would know the answers to all of your dreams I’d reach out to you with happiness that fills Comforting your heart, coloring your soul In shades of laughter, lighting up your world With my flawless smile of goodness and charm If I were a star… My fame would surely light up your thoughts Brighten your hopes with assurance and warmth Bring feathery wishes to their realization Satisfying desires and reassuring all yearnings That their wishes were heard and secured If I were a star… I would live for the gift of giving back to you A small part of the joy that comes to me When you lift up your lips toward the heavens And breathe a longing from your breast I live for the gift of your tender request If I were famous poetry contest Sponsored by Joe Sandler February 19, 2021
