Brightest Poems | Examples

Hopeful mind

Time's gone, religion's in decline,
Why don't we care about this line?
Used by tyrants, the poor consider it fate,
Do they care about the poor's state?



The night of darkness started soon,
But still shining the brightest moon.
Tyrants swimming in a pool,
Poor watching, feeling cool


Different religions, different rules.
Poor confused, but they are fools.
Horror dreams, horror thoughts,
They are holding charity pots.


Not sure! What future might grow,
But the brightest moon will always glow.

The Brightest Girl In The Room

She didn’t deserve it
Yet death never ceases. 

She was the brightest girl in the room
Despite injuries blocking her passion.
She conjured smiles and laughter and eye rolls
With everything she did.

Then she experienced her first loss
And the candle flickered if only for a moment.

Then she was back to herself
For even death could not stop her.

Until it tried again.

And after it failed another time,
It came again. 

All in less than a year.

I sat and watched in silence
Watched her being comforted after sharing the news of yet another funeral
And wondered
How she does it
How she still gets up in the morning
Puts on a smile
And keeps on living
Not just surviving.

Because I was her just a few short years ago.
But instead of staying strong like she does
I crumpled
And gave in to the weight of the loss.

Yet this girl still has that innocent look on her face
And the spark in her eyes.

So either she’s so good at faking
She’s convinced the most experienced empath,

Or we could all take a page out of her book
And take what life throws at us with her grace.

Rain Before Radiance

The skies weep tears of sorrow and pain,
On those who long to feel the warmth of sunshine's gain.
It's as if the heavens themselves conspire,
To test the hearts of those who most desire.

The rain falls hard, a relentless beat,
On souls who yearn for joy, but find only defeat.
Yet in the darkness, a spark remains,
A glimmer of hope, a light that still sustains.

For in the depths of sorrow, a strength is born,
A resilience that rises, like the morning dawn.
And though the rain may fall, and the winds may blow,
The sun will shine again, and the heart will glow.

So hold on tight, dear one, don't lose your way,
For the sun will shine brightest, after the rainiest day.

That Brightest Of Mornings

Turn not your heart 
from the suffering around you
Close not your eyes
to the pain that you see

Reach out to others
in love and compassion 
and you shall become
all that you're meant to be

A vessel of blessing
the Almighty can work through
A conduit of hope
for the hopeless to seek

A flash of warm light 
through the blackness abounding
that touches the lost 
the lonely, the weak

Though long be the night 
the dawn fast approaches 
and with it the end
of tyranny's reign

So glorious shall be
that brightest of mornings
the darkness can nevermore
visit again

Premium MemberBrightest Light

Smiling and laughing,
But the joy is lacking.
I’m going through the motion,
But devoid of emotion.

Where do I go from here,
Since you are no longer near?
How do I find meaning again,
When I feel so much pain?

I barely feel alive,
And I’m looking for the drive
To master this world called life.
Do you have any advice?

Whisper in my ear,
Or, please do appear.
I want to see your human form
As I brave the biggest storm.

So many wasted moments;
All that’s left are well-meaning condolences. 
How can the world keep on turning
When its brightest light is no longer burning?

The sky may be blue,
But gray is all I see without you.

Spica The brightest star in Virgo

I keep running to your home on the horizon Spica , but I can see that my Earth will never touch your Sky
I'll watch the Sun till my eyes sting
Looking for your spirit to move
You must be in the light you have to be
For I am in the dark and its been so long since your presence has been felt
Can you see me struggling with the shadows
 The drawn out figures parading across the walls
 My many long faces pacing the length of the dining room
 low points in the day when I'm clinging to numbness
I can scream at the night but that wont chase the darkness away
The dreams I run tirelessly through trying to save you but always realizing  that I'm to late
you're lost amongst those stars
Where my Earth will never touch your Sky

Love

An old man sitting besides me lost in his own thoughts 
About how his life would end 
He looked dull and waiting for his death
No one would believe this old flower was once the  brightest
Looking like as if he was never something else from this before 
 I thought and thought and I took a deep breath
And thought ohh lord why cannot be everyone same forever why for some end is near shore
Maturity is what gets into you and what you take inside
Ohh Lord why someone once a king now has every feeling which he wants to hide

Premium MemberOh, Star - Brightest Star -

Oh, star – brightest star –
That's first in the sky –
I don't need advice;
I just need an ear.

Nobody else must know
But I feel terrible.
You seem quite capable
Of fighting evil's blow.

Shine for my heart –
Let your fire burn my strife
With resilience tonight;
Shine on with luster.

The sight of you is crisp –
Your wisdom is your silence;
I lay this up to heaven
And trust it upon your lips.

Premium MemberI Wish Upon the Brightest Star

I wish to see a butterfly
Dance for me, beneath the sky
I wish to see a bird in flight
Soaring with freedom in my sight
I wish to see the squirrel play
Acrobatic stunts, I used to see all day
I wish to hear a bird song
Play for me, that nothing is wrong
I wish to see the turkey plume
In their march, through here they groom
I wish to see the life and flurry
All through this yard where they would scurry
I wish upon the brightest star now
To return to all that I had somehow

A speck of sand
    dust on the land
  Is not what I am...

  I am the brightest star

Premium MemberThe Moon and Her Midnight Star

If I could be your brightest moon
and you my midnight star,
I’d travel through the universe 
to meet you where you are.

All the other stars I’d leave
and follow you forever,
for never will I shine as bright 
as when we shine together.

That glinting twinkle in your eyes 
would set my face aglow,
sharing secrets of the galaxy 
you’ll burn for me to know.

When it’s time for us to find 
a hiding place to sleep,
near or far I’m where you are,
in space we choose to keep.

Be mine you see, your brightest moon
and you my midnight star…
I’ve traveled the whole universe 
to be here where you are.

Premium MemberBrightest Star

In my life's Darkness I look for direction and there you are
Shimmering ever so brightly my brightest star 
I hold you with both arms as your affection burns my soul to a char
Embracing you tightly my brightest star
My affection will surround you like space where ever you are
Holding you gently my brightest star
I look into your deep Brown eyes straight into your core, I am surprised so far
By how much love I feel towards my brightest star
I am so incredibly blessed by the woman that you are
You will forever and always be my brightest star
