My loved and beloved are sparkling, in the stars above, all my lost star people are shining, in the stars above. Sadly they have left me far below, so I now write of, them, the beautiful people dwelling, in the stars above. I write my sorrowful poems that are full of deep love, and at night I climb high up, floating, in the stars above. And all my star people tell me how they are proud of, their earth girl who comes soaring, in the stars above. We leap from star to star to star and night is a dark glove, comforting and silky till morning, in the stars above. As the dappled light breaks and it is time to let go of, this dream and beloved existing, in the stars above. _________________________ December 11, 2015 Ghazal For the contest, Star People, sponsor, Anthony Slausen Sixth Place

Wow, another Ghazal that I missed..... You're very good at this... Are you sure you are not a Persian?..... I clicked on the examples for Ghazal. People write anything and call it Ghazal. Yours are beautiful and perfectly correct....Pashang
