Among the stars of gleam, glimmer and twink
There my love.....yet...as each sun rises upon
each moon’s set...you, my love, you....
are here with me..

The rivers of the earth will dry, the skies will
cloud with the dust of our earth,   the rains
shall dampen the parched ground, filling
the cracks with mud....here, in this place
with me...  As you are there above the
sun in silent shimmer, my star.

I kiss the rays upon the oceans as each swell
brings you near....yet never here with me....

Yes, there....above Orion, before the Milky Way..
my guiding light is there.....even as you are here
in my mind.....dreaming with me...

Oh such huge sighs coming from Canada once again tonight Barry!
You met this challenge very well indeed.

"...above the sun in silent shimmer,
   my star..."


It just does not get prettier than that. This is a lovely poem, challenge or not. Enjoyed a great deal. And re-read for the joy of it.

Warmest regards, Pat

Such a swoon to the tune
of the songs of the moon,
your poetic whelm is very precious
the romance of stars is quite infectious
so please dear Barry please
pen another, cure my disease

I just love your romantic writes..

Just beyond reach, yet somewhere inside--a sigh in dreams flight!
