Know To Known, the Mystery of Stars

All poems 
lamenting starlight 
shines reflecting, 
a polar of others  
unwelcome vim

When soft breezes
Brush my face 
I want to know 
that unpolluted 
celestial objects 
will reflect 
from your eyes 

I need to know
across a chasm 
of time, a smile
of tranquility 
will greet me 

I know none that
will cross rivers 
of sweet dream pools 
Lapping loveliness, 
Moments and minutes
have Channels routed
to blind the soul

as I walk through
forests of shadow 
leaves become
still life, upon
my downed breast 

I am adrift in 
lingered lightning 
atoms of the universe
will forever sing in me, 
as known as time 
as free as death 
as I am of the sea 

Songs lament
Sadness repents 
and no tomorrows
never more promised 
darkness unstated nature
that light would hide fear
as darkness cradles
Courage 

As sunlight 
shows me timed day 
the night 
unveils timeless stars

As usual a great write and its the starlight that we retain and give out to all that need or to those we love, Yours Ian xxx

You explore the mysteries of night and stars and make them part of your life. I love especially the 5th and final stanzas. #7 All the best. // paul
