I spent last night with the stars… they played tag and then changed whimsically to hide and seek, then led me, in a whispered giggle, as we winked toward the Archer, who had the bear in his sights, then up and away onto Orion’s belt, then peeked below… my hand traced the lion’s head, and in stride, the stars and I stopped to play catch with Sirius, who barked in gay enjoyment of the heavens, as I tripped over spring’s nightlights, toward dawn. I held on intimately to the hungry morning star, all shimmer and real, then stair-stepped myself back down off the clouds, come back to join the stars, and came off the imagination of a dreamer, into the sincerity of the redbird’s song, the town’s rooster of daybreak, it seems, who herded me back to bed, to awake, in wonder. If the dog barks tonight, you’ll know where to find me. [This message has been edited by Lady In White (05-05-2003 04:40 PM).] |

a very nice write, i love the stars at nite, or seen a shooting star streaking across the dark night sky, with twinkling stars winking as it passes by. It matters not how you answer, It matters only that i hear you. |

Beautifully Expressed. The Stars inspire my Poetry and Influence my Dreams as well. Thanks for sharing this. Good Will Always, Mystic Dreamer "Standing under moonbeams Looking over mars Inward, dreams curving Outward to the stars Exploring lost cultures Through ancient avenues Cascading worlds of color Illuminating views Above, a heavenly vision Beyond, a celestial chart Within, the opening passage Returning to the Sacred Heart" |

Every single night there is a clear sky I look for a "particular star" and I am never dissappointed in the dreams following that exercise. I loved this one, but then you knew I would didn't you?
