Sam Scott Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

"I could smell the curves of the river beyond the dusk and I saw the last light supine and tranquil upon tideflats like pieces of broken mirror, then beyond them lights began in the pale clear air, trembling a little like butterflies hovering a long way off." - William Faulkner

Listen to poem:

Starlight Haze - Collab

Many mirrors have been broken some by me and some by you 
when the stars of heaven appear, we'll know what to do 
Yesterday's reflection is a changeling my friend  
So let's hang on to tomorrow, with hope that never ends  
When the stars of heaven appear we'll know what to do! 

For future hopes aren't cast in glass with fragile crystal gaze
as loving dreams are captured entwined in starlight's haze
We lift our eyes to heaven's realm to find a future bright
With each desire we hold captive to entanglements of light  
as loving dreams are captured, entwined in starlight's haze.

Daniel Henry Rodgers February 10, 2024 at 7:02 PM Dear Sam, what a beautiful poem, building hope and resilience frombroken mirrors and starlight dreams! The cyclical imagery of shattered reflections and renewed hope creates a powerful message: we can overcome past hurts and build a brighter tomorrow. I love the line "Yesterday's reflection is a changeling," perfectly capturing how we evolve and learn from our experiences. Your poem shows us to keep looking up, even when faced with challenges. Very Inspiring Poem. - Blessings, Daniel Daniel Henry Rodgers February 11, 2024 at 4:42 AM Dear Rose, sorry, I also wanted you to know that is an amazing collaboration and wanted you to know that you and Sam did an amazing job! - Blessings, Daniel Sam Scott February 10, 2024 at 9:56 PM Thanks Daniel!
