Letting Stars Sparkle

Stars shift throughout a weary night
puzzled imperfections again highlighted
by flowing thoughts drowning below
bridges broken with words misspoken

Dreams drift to distant destinations
where trouble's travels are restricted
lost along with an old black tourister 
and those daily mundane affairs

Spirits lift with another Antiguan smile
distilling demons to the way side
creating a slanted image of the sky
letting stars sparkle in clouded eyes

Sunrise gifts garner respectful homage
carrying penetrating rays of hope in tow
where a fleeting soul remains holding
on to the last threads of a leaving heart

Oh that last stanza stirs so much emotion...A leaving heart..brings only heartache...So heartwrenchingly sad...yet always with a sunshine ray of hope..Awesome.
