Canticle of Two Stars

Canticle of Two Stars

I hear the two stars singing
In daylight valleys of never ending tears
And through deep deserts of rushing storms
At midnight;
Companions on my journey,
Duets,
In perfect harmony,
Daystar at the dawn -
A light unto my feet – a morning song -
North Star for the midnight
Standing watch in darkness
So quietly humming in solitude;
Celestial melodies
Intertwined
In radiant symphonies of light –
A morning paean
To rise up in daylight
And a lullaby
To guide my steps
Into dreams
Beneath broad wings
Protection from discord - 
Fiery beacons over mountaintops
Chanting life at dawn and dusk -
The rhythm of two heartbeats
Heard across the galaxies -
A rhapsody. 
Yes,
I hear the two stars singing.

Vijay Pandit March 24, 2020 at 4:11 PM Congrats Sam on your #1 win-- a superb write. Sam Kauffman March 24, 2020 at 6:08 PM Thank you Vijay! This one demanded to be written. Was inspired by Chantelle's contest theme on the stars. Always a inspiring theme!

Sandra Adams March 24, 2020 at 9:37 AM this is beautiful Sam...I am guessing it was inspired by the recent star contest, your muse was surely inspired... congratulations on your top win... hugs and blessings Sam Kauffman March 24, 2020 at 11:05 AM Hi Sandra, you are correct.

Constance La France March 23, 2020 at 2:50 PM Sam, this poem of yours is lovely and a winner to me, well done _Constance Sam Kauffman March 23, 2020 at 2:58 PM Thank you so much Constance. I am touched, in a good way, by your message. I think I just missed Chantelle's contest but wanted to share this on the Soup anyway! Stay well! Blessings to you.

John Watt March 22, 2020 at 11:18 PM You are the singing poet, Sam. Your poetic rhapsodies are always a blessing to read, especially when your words venture into the terra firma of music. The 24-hour duet calls to mind the 121st Psalm "the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm, he will watch over your life". Also Psalm 91 with the Lord providing refuge under his wings. "Celestial melodies / Intertwined / In radiant symphonies of light". Indeed. (Another fav for me). Blessings ~ John Sam Kauffman March 23, 2020 at 2:46 PM Hi John, I guess the music does seep through into my poetry! Ps. 95 and Ps. 121 are two of my favorites and I am so glad they echo in this piece. Like Power of One, this jumped up demanding to be written. Thank you my friend! Sam Kauffman March 23, 2020 at 1:38 AM You are too good, my friend. You figured out my references! These two psalms are two of my favorites. Thank you, as always, for your positive feedback and encouragement! Many blessigs to you! Stay well.

Connie Marcum Wong March 22, 2020 at 5:43 PM This is so beautiful Sam. Did you miss the deadline on entering this in Chantelle's contest? This would have rated high I am sure. I loved it! xxoo Sam Kauffman March 23, 2020 at 1:33 AM Thank my friend! I think I did miss the deadline - finished it just as the last entries were submitted. But that being said, I am so glad you loved it. Even if it didn't make the contest at least I can still share it! Always love your visits. Aloha! Blessings.

Andrea Dietrich March 22, 2020 at 3:40 PM this is beautiful, Sam. Thanks for visiting me today. You are so sweet. Sam Kauffman March 23, 2020 at 1:35 AM Hi Andrea. I am so glad you liked this one. I think I missed the contest deadline, but, as I said to Connie at least I can still share it. Have a wonderful week! Blessings my friend.
