Star Light

high on life the tippy top a star aglow Dayspring of everything a candle lit timeless and perpetual the earth received HIS great worth placed in a mother’s embrace a babe how dare we lick our fingers and extinguish eyes so bright as if we alone could create a star of our own ^ < > V small ones we are 0 seen 0 from heaven’s gate 0 angels 0 preview our nods and knees 0 do we 0 follow through as the years go by 0 do we 0 steeple or fold our hands 0 and 0 ponder our destiny star light drips from the candle on high do we catch the flame

Oh my, this is such a deep and insightful poem dear Kim! I absolutely love your wordplay here, so unique and whimsical, compelling the reader to ponder upon these thoughts.. An impeccable wordsmithery you've presented in this one and I love your presentation as well! "star light drips from the candle on high do we catch the flame" Ahh, just so brilliantly crafted..
