Notes About The Poem

Written for the acrostic contest sponsored by Miranda H, for the song "Daystar" by Heritage Singers

Daystar

Dreaming beneath sparkling skies,
adorned with ice-blue sapphires.
Yearning for an evergreen Eden~
saturated with tender celestial light,
tailored with faith, erasing deceit,
as the rose moon unfurls wisteria warmth,
reviving wilted lilies with perfumed prose.

Beautiful imagery of romantic or maybe spiritual; I see hints of both. Congrats on your placement.

Dear Empress, After reading your insightful Acrostic I felt the longing for an ideal, pure world filled with beauty, hope, and spiritual renewal. Yes, I really think that many of us have a desire for a perfect, Eden-like existence free from deception and negativity. Good luck on the contest, and I believe you have a winner for sure. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Your poetry is stunning both in short and lengthy form, whether it is acrostic or an elegy. You can deal with any topic and every poetic form, for poetry flows through your veins like life blood. We all yearn for an evergreen Eden. Let us hope that in the place of wilted lilies, newer ones will bloom. All the Best dear Empress.

It's best to dream when the skies look surreal. Whether in real life or in our thoughts. I definitely want back the world where there's peace and honesty. Just eat, live and create memories. "Yearning for an evergreen Eden~saturated with tender celestial light." And true people who see themselves and love others. The world is full of many bad people and I keep wondering. What really went wrong. Why did they choose to be harmful and wicked. But there are lots of questions left unanswered dear Ink
