It saddens me to gaze upon the stars I see them blinking, fighting back their tears Reminding me our distance is so far Their numbers are the days without you near Assembling pieces of my scattered thoughts An image comes to me in stained glass scenes Subconsciously I gather shards embossed Create a picture of you here with me Then suddenly a sign from fate appears A shooting star takes flight across the sky I close my eyes and wish that you were here To stay with me and never say goodbye I think about the happiness love brings Then go inside to dream my stained glass dream an original poem by Daniel Turner

This is such a pretty piece. The "stained glass" really elevates the emotional depth of your words.. I especially love the delicate way "hope" emerges...lovely imagery, skillfully penned. blessings, lynn

Daniel, your title caught my eye on this poem. I adore stained glass.It is possible to soak in some of the color helping to balance the body which is why I believe they are in so many churches. I love the way you used stained glass in this poem to express your scattered thoughts. This poem shines with its colorful beauty! 7 ; )

Thank you Jean. I guess so many poem were posted it didn't get read very much. I am glad you enjoyed as I thought it was a pretty good one. I appreciate your friendly support. How's the weather in Ireland this time of year? It's been over 100 here for almost a month. Take care little lass.
