Written: November 21, 2023 __________________________________________ My grasp soars to the sky. billions of light-years into space Inducing the comely azure to caress cynosure constellations reaching out, the spinning moon Brushes them back and beyond I whisk them away delicate, languid, celestial body fully, further filling my firkin amid a slew of diaphanous stars. Tonight, I will relive an exquisite display here in my dimly lit room, and disperse them all over the place. I tie them to the tree twigs featuring self-adhesive clasps refinishing the wooden floors with cascading tiny orbs tonight, I lie in the city of stars.

Wow, Sotto. I'm left breathless. What an imaginative experience so wonderfully crafted. Free verse was the perfect form as the narrator imagines himself free in the vastness of space. The last verse will stay with me. I often dream of traveling in outer space and touching the stars. Your poem, therefore, spoke to me. Have to fave this one. Have a great day, Sara

Lovely ...and greatly imaginative! Your poem has the brilliance of stars. Love the last line...".tonight, I lie in the city of stars" . Images are twinned into a beautiful lace.

I lie in the city of stars. My past time if I can see them, to stare at the stars and blank my mind and feel a sense of serene. Have a nice Thanksgiving my friend
