Twinkling Heartbeats

When stars align in skies of love like twinkling heartbeats high above I wonder those who’ve passed my way Aligned in stars for just a day So many heartbeats I have known That cosmic winds have gently blown Allowing us but just a wink A brief alliance yet to think Yet friends and lovers sparkle still In memories command at will I wonder if they think of me When stars align once more to be

Ooooh, this is an amazing poem Mike. I have wondered the same thing. I'm sure those that you've been near remember you. I love your poems, and they affect us here on the soup, you surely affect those who know you or have met you personally in your life. This is precious, I really love it. I'm faving it!

Mike came across your poem & reading it felt like a hug, I recently lost my father, his sister & my landlord, so how ironic I came across your poem. It brought to mind an old Eskimo legend that begins, "Perhaps they are not stars, but rather the openings in the sky where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us .. My favorite and to me, the most beautiful line in your poem reads, "So many heartbeats I have known." This is so lovely and so moving.

Marikate, thank you so much for your kind comments!. I am so glad that it resonated with you, I often think of those who've touched my life and are gone from it one way or another and wonder if I ever cross their minds xxoo

"I wonder if they think of me, when stars align once more to be" Most definitely. This is so beautiful and tender. Your thoughts curl gently around me and my heart. Happy New Year, Mike. :) Brandy
