Starlight Whispers

by Michael

The night begins to draw the day
and still I haven’t slept,
while pools of tears on paper lay
and yet, I haven’t wept.

It’s with this pen my feelings pour.
My poems are therapy.
A way I’ve come to know such peace
and seek the best in me.

I strive to be a better man,
treat women with respect,
to bury hurts from out the past
and not on them reflect.

I’ve found in life there’s so much hope
and it has dried the tears.
Each day I search for loveliness
and know I will for years.

When dark displays its lacery,
I’ll find my pen and write,
let starlight whispers guide my hand,
from wee of morn ‘til light.

Hope is such a precious commodity, especially in the world today where despair seems to lurk in every alley. Lovely poem.

Such a beginning ...
The night wraps us in it's wonder
and does with us what it will ....

Really nicely portrayed feelings.

What a lovely word, "lacery"...can I borrow it? for your poem is laced with hope and sincerely written.

Did I ever tell you how much I LOVE your poetry, and I don't sleep either so I sympathize.

Hi Dee,

I miss our chats also, sweet friend. I'm glad to see you found time to make it to Passions for some reading. I know you've been missed. You've most certainly been missed by me. Thank you, dear.
