Saudade of Stars

pale stars twinkle wistfully weaving timeworn tales with magic moonbeams and stardust seeped in nostalgic reveries across the dark space children stargaze as mothers create myths about how their ancestors watch over them lovers sit under the stars listening to the silver serenade of midnight, where soft secrets remain unspoken in the still silence and a poet pens pensive verses about the inky moonlight, and the muted starlight in the velvety darkness, as the silken shadows dance, creating halcyon hallucinations of celestial serenity.

Wowwwzieez this is just so ethereal and mesmeric! I loveeee the embellished imagery throughout.. "timeworn tales" and those children drifting in nostalgic reveries with their mothers, ahhh, so heartfelt and soulful every line is! And I absolutely adore the flow of your words dear Joanna, Fibonacci is a very tricky form when it comes to the pace of words n flow n i must say that yours just is so smooth! Your verses although pensive feel like a prayer sent to the stars and beyond! Congratulations on your beautiful placement in my contest! Keep writinnnn and shininnn 🌙✨🍁🍂💫
