There Is a Star With My Name On It

And once again the quiet Night comes
Bringing to life many zillion Flames 

Some vague, some clear, some near some remote 
Smeared on the Night's long black over-coat

Blinking their eyes, these Stars hide and seek
Drawing smiles on every watching cheek

Amid these, some look like burning coals
They have our names crafted in their souls

Every single particle of sand 
That slips like cold water through our Hand

And is engulfed by the tormented Waves
When reaches bottom of the deep Caves

Breaks the hourglass ___ Ignites into flames, 
Transcends barriers of times and space

Flies___ until reaches the end of skies 
Each one that you see with naked eyes

Have a gem in them, an ember wish 
A Heart's beat, that refuses to perish

When dreams are shed__ this sand reaches end
Turns to glimmering suns___ to heavens __ assend

Paghunda, I love your grand vision in this poem, how you connect the large and small. "To see the universe in a grain of sand ... and eternity in an hour ..." as Pope wrote. Best to you. ~Eric

Dear Paghunda, your talented pen blends vivid imagery and emotions to create thought provoking beauty. Shooting stars are so inspiring and so is the blaze of this poetic gem. To dare to dream the impossible dream is both a joy and a misery but the fact that we can dream it at all is a wonderment of heart and imagination. "And here the Night comes / Bringing to life a zillion Flames" - speaks eloquently to how special your poem truly is. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
