Sunflowers

Stars I gaze, all night - as if in a reverie, 
Under the sky as I stand, yearning to be
Near you and admire the blue-black velvet and
Feel the breath of silence, so serene - to be
Lost in the warmth of a dream-like enchanting moment;
Oceans apart, now, still our souls merge
When the universe in unison tunes a melody, 
Entranced by the lustrous stars in the quiet of the night, 
Reflecting the charm of our love, as I gape at the
Same star you stare at from a distant land.

Hi Ani, Sunflowers put me in a good mood - I think this poem is exactly what I needed to read because I feel down and grumpy today. So well penned my friend. Hugs and blessings. P.S Your comment on my poem Thieves in the night dear Ani , yes, unfortunately everything I wrote in this poem is real and true. xxx

I admire sunflowers when night falls and they bow their heads in praise of the Lord.
