Stardust in the Stillness

 

Life scars  . . .   are the roadmap of my soul,
though, under the midnight glow of violet: 
there is still lots of pretty stardust that falls;
so, I gather up in my hands __ that stardust.

My life is now weather-stained with years,
and my dreams are like birds drifting away;
singing a melody ~ that floats in the wind,
to inspire they sing just for me __ it seems. 

Pages of my life read like a ravaged garden,
and still-  still I find beauty in each new day;
writing poetic words like stardust ~ pouring,
that hang dripping from branches in nature. 

And each morn' I set out for my true north,
my hair a flowing sail in the ocean's wind;
it seems endless . . . under the sun and stars,
as the delicate stardust falls and follows me. 

Oh, life is a journey of rapture, bitter and sweet,
it is like a fragile flower opening in dawns light;
like the birds singing ~~ a serenade just for us,
till we become that stardust falling from the sky.
