Bj Legros Kelley Poet Rhyme

Above the Somber Night

                         I stopped amidst the rushing tide

                            The stars were shining bright

                         I heard the choir of children sing

                              Above the somber night

Rowena Velasco July 23, 2025 at 6:39 AM This short verse carries a quiet, haunting beauty. The contrast between the rushing tide and the stillness of starlight, paired with the ethereal sound of children singing, creates a moment of sacred pause. Lovely and evocative imagery.

Evelyn Judy Buehler July 11, 2025 at 5:36 PM Very beautiful and touching, BJ. Love the music, too. :)

Gershon Wolf July 11, 2025 at 3:44 PM So hopeful. That's why people are born as infants and then become children... So as to give the world energy, song and hope. Lovely penned, Bj.
