Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Stars Remembered

midnight weighs heavy on my mind
as nature is poised for sleep

on breath of darkness hovers
a hazy veil of thickness cast

silence in greys that linger
without a sound or breeze

clouds hang low on pause
dazed make my way through fog

whiling away the hours
in circles tired feet meander

I’ve lost my way
much like my mind

vagrant thoughts
lead me astray

as gnawing emptiness
consumes the soul of me

eerie the dance of dawn
when murky shadows dissipate

breaking the fast of night
and fears naught but forgotten

I remember once stars guiding my way
back home where I would find you
