Gather
the dark around
stars the night is spilling
and all the wishes are waiting
to climb across the sky with hope to join
the pattern formed by others far
to see and how explain
if words cannot
stars will
gather

we'll find what we called our sins are just mistakes."

Yes!
A lovely write
dear poet.
But then, I've
come to expect
nothing less
from you.

Martie,

This is wonderful. So creative!

I like, especially:

"Stars the night is spilling.
And all the wishes are waiting"

Plus, it is a rictameter...very good.

Enjoyed, hugs, Pat

This isn't rictameter
This is pure MARTI!
Even the stars can't sting themselves into phrases like you do.
Your words make them more beautiful
And they just fall into place

I feel like I cannot find any other words to say how I feel about your writings, other than "beautiful" and that doesn't begin to cover it.

(smiles) The stars can always explain what the words alone cannot, that is His philosophy! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, always believe on that star you gaze upon, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
