Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Stars

One cannot reach and grasp them

pluck them from a dark branch of sky

shake the mystical glitters loose to rain 
down heavenly treasures of knowledge

perhaps such contents should remain translated  
only by the languages of prayers and wishes -- 
---------------------------------------

Guardians of planet secrets -- 
light years apart by design,
some creation logic to great
distances I imagine

on our very own earth
often alien to neighbors -- 
fences and walls as those
regions of mysterious, isolated 
space -- 

would be wise -- for science matures -- 
make note of knocking before we celestially enter

maybe the Gods know best?

CayCay Godwin March 24, 2026 at 5:07 AM MYSTICAL GLITTERS, beautiful imagery. I personally KNOW planets hold information to be had, 'secrets' they want to share. Jesus said, 'look to the stars.', I believe the quote is accurate (doubting my memory.) 'Prayers and wishes', and me thinks intuition, as well. Beautiful thinking and feeling poem. Joseph P. DiMino March 24, 2026 at 1:45 PM Yes, I believe you are right...he also said that he had many other flock to look after. With time we will know all, be united with everything and everywhere. I too believe this. Wonderful enlightening comment. Thank you, CayCay. Blessings.

Gershon Wolf March 21, 2026 at 9:19 PM Gosh. What a flash of insight here, Joe. Never gave a thought to your idea, that there's a heavenly reason why stars are so far apart. Brilliant! (Pun intended, I guess). ~ Gershon Joseph P. DiMino March 22, 2026 at 1:46 AM Not unreachable, but far apart till knowledge of how. Pun enjoyed. Thank you, Gershon. Who knows...?
