Listening to every heart

To Know

harbored in the coming of
purpleā€™s twilight

embracing a belief
searching for a star

looking for one
that outshines all others
the first that would shine
that night

as the star rose
into the heavens
the wind rushed
searching
rushing
to whoosh into her ears
bringing along the words of the star
in a whisper
I am yours

green eyes fastened
onto the radiant white beam
light-years away
yet a stretch of slender hand,
palm up, held the star aloft
with gentlest touch

like a star out of reach
love is there, when you know
and when you know,
then the darkest blue-black of night

will envelope you
tuck you in
keep you warm
safe in the promise

and in that promise,
to know
there is one,
just as the first star is
the one that,
with a stretch of slender hand,
palm up, you might hold the star aloft
with gentlest touch

brings the smile
to know
and to believe
I am yours

I am yours- what a good feeling!
Beautiful poem.

Kari dear heart, a star indeed and her name begins in K This is truly awesome love, utterly brilliant, like the star who wrote it.
I love it
Take care love as always

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
