Why Are There Stars

why are there stars? are they stepping stones to heaven lanterns that light your way? or lighthouse stars...hear a sailor scream “hallelujah…we are saved” why there are stars? they circle ‘round the moon and sing i’m not kidding these little blinks of light the bling of the skies sentinels of moonstruck lovers haloes of angels light years away WHYareTHEREstars? They shout forevermore from glory! Are they stars or heaven’s ships? i ride the chariot of candlelight pulling on the reins of hope but really...why...are...there...stars? a child cranes his head counting his dreams and when the moon turns dark, fireflies of the sky fill the child’s head as the myriad of stars wander filling our lives with wonder the chalkboard hangs over our souls instructing starstruck eyes we count, connect the dots, makes wishes and ask forgiveness 6/14/2018 Julia Ward’s Why are there stars contest
