Notes About The Poem

Stars

For my psychiatrist, you know why :)

That night you wheeled me to the beach
And as we sat there silently
Above our heads, beautifully
The sky rained rainbows on us each

Stars as coloured little stones
You smiled and asked me quietly:
“Is there then nothing you can see
That convinces you you’re not alone?”

I made a wish aimed up, up high
And as they whirled and disappeared
It was as if all I still feared
Would soon be gone, passed by

I'm sitting here staring at the screen, not because I have no reaction, but because I have so many. You took a few moments of your reality and transcribed them poetically so well that I just got chills from living THAT moment with you. I can hear wistfulness in your voice though you didn't speak in the poem. Oh, Darren - just oh, oh and oh ... CayCay

I, too, stopped to say, beautiful. You may have to accept that your poem is just that, beautiful!!! CayCay
