- Shiny Stars -

I put my thumb up while the thoughts of darkness came and went
In each person's life there may be sorrow and defeat
You see a little angel lonely, left and confused

The joy is so delicious and grief is lonely
We just have to taste what's coming,
something is sweet and something is bitter

No matter what happens,
I have seen beauty that holds back the darkness
You may say I'm a dreamer and violets are blue

Robert Lindley Date: 8/5/2017 11:16:00 AM Love your message in this very creative free verse offering my friend. Life will always present its ups and downs.. Sadly sometimes, nobody can fathom why--it presents far more downs. Yet as poets, even such, we may handle as well as possible, if we let our hearts speak to others. A fav..
