Above the clouds of billow, between the moon and stars…a gift stands in silent vigil, watching over a tender and delicate soul. This radiant being, soft, feminine, ever challenging, darting too and fro, walking silently among the flowers, plucking one gently from it’s stalk. Twirling the flower, fluttering the petals in the gentle breeze. Counting them gracefully, one by one….as a heart flutters in quiet repose… Standing in the still of night, twinkling stars telling her that all is well….looking for a single radiance, a glowing light, between the moon and the glimmer of each of a myriad of stars… Counting them gracefully, one by one, as a tear wells within the blue, waiting to be gently plucked away, to be tasted upon the tongue… Can wishes be made upon the stars, these little treasures from here to Mars? Can hearts in flutter beat ever strong, knowing and hearing a friendship’s song? Counting these wishes, one by one…as a melodious song, most tender is sung…. Eyes of the vigil gleaming and moist, watching this beauty as each rejoiced. Counting the teardrops one by one, silently falling, a friendship won…. |

 (sigh) Awwwwwwwwww, this is sooooooo lovely, sweet friend, this too sounded to me like the whisper of a zephyr speaking with kindred tenderness! (big hugggssssss) This is so pleasing, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I hope the answer to these questions is yes...otherwise, life is quite sad--a most gentle write--enjoyed! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |

a very calm and peaceful write...I love the night sky. There were only three stars that I could see last night, around the full moon...and yes, I made three wishes. |
