Keepers of Wishing Stars

Tonight I sit and wander
through stars~ my perennial
freshening sparkling...of old familiar
constellations – 
                   attention drawn
to some dim and distant
                  wondering of the many wishes
perhaps misplaced
of mine and countless worlds 
of yet searching others....

Tonight I sit and wonder
with a heartfelt sigh, how
many disappointed have
stopped faithful wishing,

stopped their joyful singing – 

how many fewer guitars with warmth 
of feeling no-longer soulfully strumming

for a heart needs romantic reason
if to keep going its tender humming...

so, myself, a poet~ Romance's ink-full benefactor
tonight write for gleaming heavens, a darling new
twinkle-r – penning words dipped in glitter
for a yearning lonely sitter, as if my lyrical 
clusters were enticing jewels for every dreamer's misplaced
coupling diadem....

Surely, some high-flying angel, or goddess will 
take fond notice, for bards long the pet and fancy
of the Keepers of Wishing Stars –

I think many of us lost the sparkle before the fire inside us was again ignited with a flickering flame of poetry to express ourselves with passion and delight. Loved your poem Joe.

When the heart injured, it is slow to heal...if ever! Even then, we are never the same. Blessings my friend!

David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their fellow Levites as musicians to make a joyful sound with musical instruments: lyres, harps and cymbals. 1 Chronicles 15:16 NIV For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? 1 Thessalonians 2:19 NIV May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance
