Notes About The Poem

For the contest "Stardust Serenade' by Robert James Liquori

Stardust Serenade

As night softly nudges dusk aside                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
and birds return to their nests to hide
I look skyward in hopes of a chance
to see you among their nightly dance

The stars are magic, but I need you
the way you once were: a dream come true
I hear wind singing our lonesome song
And wonder again how things go wrong

If I could hold you just one more day
dance with the clouds our magical way
But, our days have become lost in time                                                                                                               
 and, only in dreams will you be mine                                                                                              
                                                                          
The stars sense dawn is now drawing nigh
 they persuade wind to lighten the sky
 Then Breeze, that often tells silken lies,
 Will tell our secrets to lilac skies

The feelings of loss, melancholy and yearning are poignantly yet beautifully described here Ann. Great use of personification in the last verse. Life it seems is a prize that's given to us - but then inexplicably taken away from us too. Cheers - Gary

Hi, Gary! So nice to hear from you. Thank you for your comments. I suppose life is a learning experience and we must learn from loss as well as gifts, but I do seem to write about loss a lot! Hope all is well with you.
