Hour 9, "Starlight..."

2023 Poetry Marathon, Hour 9

Hour 9

9/2/2023

 

“Starlight…”

 

Twilight pauses my evening

as I await dreams and wishes

‘til the darkness inhabits the land.

 

Can you see the faire folk

…gather?

Pause, partner, and begin to swirl?

Can you hear and FEEL the breath of melody

arise as the air begins to shimmer and flow?

And the music - the MUSIC, meanders

and whispershouts so!

 

And the taste, the TASTE - of LIFE

as it flavors your lips,

’til your tears softly leak as you’re left behind.

And the danse - their DANSE, holds you so -

visions of when the world was aglow.

The times of dreams across all the lands

as the star’s light is held

within gracious hands…

as the pipes lightly sing of wonders to be

and the star’s light shimmers so wondrously.
