 (Picture by Josephine Wall) Stars were sparkling in fine champagne As I set out for Dreamland's Realm In velvet Midnight's starry reign While the Harvest Moon stood at the helm Beneath enticing, luminous beams That seemed to lift me up to space My fantasies and lustrous dreams Were held in starlight's soft embrace Where man or beast do not intrude Beyond the borders that ignite This stellar, wondrous interlude Bewitching all with lunar light Within my magic orb of sleep Dream-haunted and slumber-dim Vast canopies of loveliness Flowed over my mind's elusive brim And I was awestruck gazing there For my heart was drenched in stars Trailing silvery flowers fair Which spilled from crystal jars There was no-one with whom to speak To guide me through the Milky Way Than my companion, fickle sleep Across the astral deep blue bay Beguiling and alluring scenes Emerge when dreams and stars unite Surely a part of Heaven's schemes To spellbind you on Dreamland's Flight |

Thank you everybody, I really write those "starry" poems for my grandson because he's simply fascinated by what goes on in the Milky Way. And of course I always have to spin a little story around the stars, for he's only 4.1/2 years old. We often go out stargazing together when he stays with me at the weekend Already now he knows the names of many stars.Heart2Heart |

And I was awestruck gazing there For my heart was drenched in stars Trailing silvery flowers fair Which spilled from crystal jars _____________________________ words and picture...all beautiful! |
