I caught a star
My first one
recently

After 12 years of watching,
longing,
praying,
dreaming,
and hoping
on those stars I chose
so carefully
that seemed so far
for so so long

And my eyes sparkle
with those few stars I've finally
taken hold of
captured in my heart I dance
surrounded by the light of so many more
swirling around me

I treasure the joy
the pure happiness
the thankfulness
My heart overflowing
For I am finally me


To capture and live a moment is truly living

Thanks so much everyone!   Have been gone for a bit but things are settling down now and I'm happy to being back and reading everyone's poetry again.  
Thank you for sharing my new happiness.

To become...that is!

The skin horse said that in becoming real one might get all their head rubbed off and it might hurt, too.  But the Velveteen Rabbit wouldn't have given up being real, being loved, in order to skip the pain.

wonderful piece!
