When I look up at the ageless stars So near, and so far Looking all lost and all alone In the void that they call home Oh so fortunate they are In the loving bosom of eternity Cradled in a constancy Carried aloft above the weight Of the world unlike mortals too late Such as I to be eaten by gravity I wish not that fate so desperate Upon any earthbound spirit My sphere which I used to call my own A very real home sweet home I bleed with longing for it |

Very beautiful whispers, of timeless and ageless tears. You write lovingly of everything worth everything. TD |

I like the idea of the stars in loving eternity, and the constancy reference. Nicely done. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

 This is.... the stars, the longing, the ache of this. *touching the screen* I know this took a lot of out of you lovie.  and I have found a bitter irony, that St. Bernard,a place named for the patron saint of charity, would go so often unmentioned....  |

My sphere which I used to call my own A very real home sweet home I bleed with longing for it ~*~ Ah, poet... you pen the ache very well.  |

Oh, this poem strikes a strident chord in my 'harp', so to speak!  One of my signatures is "We are borne of the stars, and to the stars we shall one day return." To Our Home Sweet Home Among the Stars! Love and Star Light, Earth Angel |

If anyone is reading, thank you for your eyes, and those who replied. Serenity, you know... more than anyone. Thank you. |
