Hear the Roar

H ow do memories retain the brilliancy of star’s vanes?
A nother time another place, would memories have such grace?
P erhaps, it’s simply distance, that works this mystery this mischance.
P oor substitute for touch this distance metaphoric rush.
Y oungsters apple cheeked blush, Gran’s lovingly shush.
N otice only the brightest twinkle in a baby eye or a mother’s guise.
E very fused image stays crisp and lovely for all days.
W orry need not intrude on the sentinels of solitude.
Y our heart’s delight will outshine any simple test of time.
E ndlessly remaining new, bright, young and warm.
A rriving at the end of even nights most darkened morn.
R oaring with star fire and flame ‘till all who’ve lived….live again.

Darn! I thought this was going to be about the backlash from the government's universal health plan. Hey! HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours. Vince

Lovely words you paint for us... and thanks for your comment on my poem, a space ship, yes it was difficult to write this one, as I am clueless about space ships, so I chose a magic carpet...for my space trip
