When Stars Collect At Your Feet

 Beneath the parapet of God,  stars collect at your feet ! 
          like little old stars              lukewarm, tepid, warm 
They cool then fade                            into your open hand 
generating light and energy                through the fusion 
of your spectacular supernova,        soul*.
Reading a star is like reading                     your own heart, 
its mass is compressed                   filled with gravity 
and its only intention is                 to love and be loved...

CayCay Godwin August 28, 2025 at 6:43 AM Oh, Darling, I guess it's literally my brain - I can't tell which way to read, the lines are zig zagged on my screen and I'm failing in my attempt for clarity. I don't think the lines held as you intended. Very frustrating because it seems you wrote some very cool lines. I wanna know what you said about stars so I'm gonna pout, but still leave you, Poetry hugs ... CayCay No, got it. 2nd line has no caps but nevertheless starts a sentence, just read from left to full right. It is a wonderful poem, worth the brain struggle! Mystic Rose Rose August 28, 2025 at 6:42 PM I tried to do a new format, if you like I can send it to you straight in a line, its meant to be read straight across :)

Joseph P. DiMino August 27, 2025 at 11:59 AM Lovely inspiring poetry. "Reading a star is like reading your own heart," large as a star compressed, each heart expandable to a Universe, awaiting enlightened manifestation. Mystic Rose Rose August 28, 2025 at 6:40 PM That light can spread easily from heart to heart when we are wide awake, Joe, :)
