Stars Above

Stars, little glowing lights in the heavens; brighter than any light made by human hands. What if they’re really eyes, shining from the dark clouds? They see everything; they must, there are so many. Do they talk about what they witness? Perhaps not, as many as there are, the talk would be so loud, you couldn’t hear your own voice above their din. Brightest of all stars What have you witnessed tonight? Brightest eyes of God.

"Do they talk about what they witness?" Wouldn't that be something! I may have to BORROW this idea for my own poem. Would this be stealing or are you okay with me borrowing this? My imagination is dancing now...

Only if it's word-for-word, I think. Have fun with it. Thanks.

It is a wonderful feeling to gaze and feel connected to the stars in the night sky. Euphoric actually. I love this M.L. xxoo

Note: My new sonnet was born from first stanza comment made on my having read both Nina's blog titled, What Rhymes 2: Cross-Border Disorder and then my immediate reading of M.L. Kiser's new poem, titled, "Stars Above". I got started writing and I simply could not stop Dedicated to you my friends , Nina Parmenter and M.L. Kiser because your words given and sweet verses inspired the creation of this piece.

Superb imagination from a fine poet's heart and soul, my friend. ""O' the many things brighter stars have seen*through the long ages of our hopes and regrets* lives, loves, losses, and all the in between* all of the all, humanity begets!"" Love your great poem- especially its closing lines.

They do tell our stories and before we are even born into this world. Thanks so much.

Lovely write. The stars are certainly a magnificent view from down here. Ever wondered how they view us from up there? Do they gather in clusters just to watch us?

I've so often wondered about stars; they're so much more than planets. Thank you, Samuel.
