Stars abound in dark of distant space void of air, a vacuum expanse where only time and stardust race as moonbeams shimmer in the dance Streaks of brightness at speed of light a chill to frost the warmest sigh Comets,asteroids out in flight beyond the view of naked eye Planets and moons spinning around Carousel of galactic ride turning, churning past speed of sound as moons in darkness try to hide Leo, Mars, the Little Dipper Constellations and Milky Way All there to help a ship’s skipper return to port, ready to play. Time began with the Universe as the Big Bang brought in the year Astronomers mumbling soft curse still waiting, listening to hear! |

Magnus darling boy OH YES!! This is exceptional writing, utterly utterly brilliant. You knew I’d love this, the stars themselves will pause in their nightly dance to genuflect to you tonight, this is perfect. How can you write soooooo beautifully time after time? All I know is that you consistently amaze me with the power and the beauty of your words. YOU truly are the King of romance and wonder, No one does it like you darling boy no one. Ahhhhhhhh and yes I love it utterly utterly love it. You guessed didn’t you? Mmmm subtlety was never my strong suit This is utter bliss, perfect darling heart utterly utterly perfect.   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Stars abound in dark of distant space void of air, a vacuum expanse where only time and stardust race as moonbeams shimmer in the dance A carasoul of moon and stars revolving round and round in distant skies from afar stardust falls gently to the ground Your thoughts inspired me, hope you don't mind a poetic response  ...well done Magnus!!Like a red brick, in a white wall somebodies brush forgot to paint... lonely....(as sung by Tracy Lawrence..)

Barry, now THIS one has to be your finest... I know...I already chose others before... but that was before this one! You see, I love carousels... have a carousel horse myself... and I am a Leo! So I saw the title, started to read... and...well, I JUST LOVE THIS!! ~Hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Magnus~ You caught me on your carousel Twirled me in your rhyme Spun me through the galaxy In finely metered time~ I chanced to grab a constellation Of Seven Sisters in their glow I have delighted in this ride I wanted you to know~ Beautifully spun, poet~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
