Dances with Stars

Once upon the sky
Ablaze with stars it gazed upon
My loveliness my smile
And once upon the stars I slept
and dreamed and played and danced
The moment of time stepped in
Reality took its royal chair
I fell and down upon the dust
of dirt and mire and muck
I wept I swam I lived.
Like green the grass when dew does shine
and lift up my soul does I
I see the beauty of the lilies
I learn to breath earth's saving air
And live upon it,
I see the flowers and the bumblebees,
the footsteps on the muddy ground
I live and raise my eyes up and look around
I see the trees, its upper arms
embracing the silver
I am
gazing on stars once more...
not to go its distance and dwell there
not to climb the highest peak and reach out to its glitter
but to sit admiringly in a distance,
remembering the dances I once danced with its shine...
but stars are not meant to hold one such as me
I am my destiny fulfilled, as
I set my foot and roots safely on the earth
that loved me and graced me
with the beauty and the fragrance of the flowers in my midst.

I think you must've passed me in the mire and the muck somewhere, Care to show me the way out? Beautiful work, Welcome to Dark Passions.

Hi and welcome to Passions..very nice to have you here...

gazing on stars once more...
not to go its distance and dwell there
not to climb the highest peak and reach out to its glitter
but to sit admiringly in a distance,
remembering the dances I once danced with its shine...
but stars are not meant to hold one such as me"

this is SO beautifull, well written and expressed...you write with lovely imagery.
take care, janet marie

...there are places inside all our souls...
that have never been touched...
there are places inside our hearts...
that need to be loved this much...

Welcome Indeed, the title alone caught my interested. The visuals in this were beautiful. Well done

May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......
