"Bright Star Rose" Bright Star shone on the bright side far beyond the dark side Bright Star let the dark slide between and underneath the cracks burning in the road well travelled under the Others' soles and Bright Star’s soul levitated much higher above the ground from the base of those Other empire state stories' eyes steadfast in their lofty realms hived in all those lost bodies united in a bad bad dream and Bright Star soft falling mask of eremite melting rose higher and brighter than bright and kissed the highest hidden brightest star blazing in the darkest night's dark indigo blue sky and Bright Star riding the waked forever in a sweet unrest outshone the singularity of the eclipsed enraptured and embraced as Love is in the Hidden's timeless breast Candide Diderot. ‘24 "In all configurations The curve is the thing that can go back on itself Over and over As the stars turn around each other And light the way for travelers Who come along through time Looking for that one that could bend the path just so To take us home And light shines And light shines Around the table, where they all sit smiling Hands with fingers moving as they tell their stories of being lost Then found No matter what the place, they saw the face Of one who showed the way along the road well-traveled..." "Bright Star, would I were steadfast as thou art"/John Keats, 1819 "And Light Shines"/David Lynch "Meditative Rose"/Salvador Dali, 1958 "The Road not Taken"/Robert Frost, 1915.

Hello Candide, I liked how you intricately effectively mix imagery and metaphor to explore the interplay between light and darkness, the known and the unknown. The juxtaposition of the bright star against the backdrop of the dark sky reflects a journey of enlightenment and transcendence. It is interesting to contemplate the complexities of existence and the quest for meaning in the vast expanse of the universe. - Well Done my friend. Daniel
