Response To Potpourri

Dear man, you are a distant star.

I wish your eyes on me would shine.

Come close to me; a firefly be,

So I might hold you in my palm!


Written Jan. 17, 2016
 for "A Poetic Response" Poetry contest of nette onclaud

Based on Visual #1 and Quote: "The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies." by  Rabindranath Tagore
