At eventide of death he sings, As night enfolds in angel's wings, Beneath the glow; emerging heaven, Orion's belt and Sisters Seven, Stars beyond the stars he spies, Yet with the light, a flower dies, Fear no more the mourn of life, Feel not the pain of mortal's strife, From silent tomb to evening's bloom; deep within celestial vault; he dies with sleep.

Seems we are of a somewhat like mind this evening, my friend. I believe that I could read your words forever, and still keep turning pages. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Stars beyond the stars he spies, Yet with the light, a flower dies, I wish I knew what lies beyond death's door, but you have spoken of stars, and so, maybe it is just so... I love this poem...speaks to my heart, it does. |

What beautiful sorrow...I do indeed hope that the stars guide us through death...and perhaps into life once more? Anyways, wonderful work, I enjoyed this greatly!  < !signature-->*Krista Knutson* "You never lose by loving.

Mike~ There is such beauty in your write - 'As night enfolds in angel's wings, Beneath the glow; emerging heaven, Orion's belt and Sisters Seven, Stars beyond the stars' 'From silent tomb to evening's bloom' I am renewed with your phrases of expectation. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
