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 Zahid) (26th Feb, 2021)(3:56 pm)

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

Very thought provoking my good friend Pagunda - it is a breathtaking write and I love your way of bringing earths tormented waves and sky together and also how the hourglass, transcends the barriers of times and space and ignites into flames - your imaging in this poem is on fire! Great poetry, Love and blessings, Jennifer.
