Illuminations

of

Wonder

and

Warmth

from the sky’s black velvet cloak points of light emanate drawing the wonder of all who see but are these sequin stars or tears in the fabric of heaven from which our lost loved ones look down smiling to let us know they are happy one special star reveals a most welcome sight – the face of my husband after all these years, John remains ever loving ever watching over me view the night sky are we seeing distant, fiery orbs of light or do our hearts see something else fear of the afterlife is replaced by warmth a desire to be among illuminated faces… those whose journeys have ended Written March 21, 2020

The stars lift our eyes upward and give us comfort in the absence of our loved ones. The knowledge that they looked upon those same stars brings a smile. Your husband's enduring love is well represented here, Carolyn. I enjoyed this touching poem very much, and wish you congratulations on the well-deserved #1 placement ~ John

This Corona Virus has made us think of death as a journey to loved ones who are waiting for us, but i don't feel ready to go yet - however that will be God's choice. Congratulations my dear friend for a breathtaking poem and the trophy won. Love and hugs, Jennifer.
