Count the Stars in Silence

Cover the touch wandering in and out
of the brightest tides of time
because  the splendor of diamonds
will run away
leaving you with empty hands that sigh.
Let your voice light everything
that shakes your blessings,
so that you may live,
continue standing
never hide.

Count the stars in silence,
get lost
in their features
as you dream of holding hands
with the tides of time.
You will find yourself in flight
over roads that meet years
full of deep eyes
with no tears.
Countless thoughts you will treasure,
raining down
in perfect rhyme.

Bid farewell to your trust in wealth
it can die before your eyes.
Cover the touch
of the brightest tides of time.
Count the stars in silence
when you fly over the roads
of your memories.
A strong breeze
will blow into your thoughts,
sweet
as the finest wine.

This is on beautiful poem! It would make a touching song. I loved the tides of time. You have made me realize that considering how long it takes light to reach earth, the stars could already be dead. So..every time we look up into the night sky, that, is time travel. Precious light of a creation from millions of years ago. You've given me a newfound appreciation of life.

The last lines made me chuckle. A lot of your poems are like birds that fly away at that last moment, making the beautiful moment all the more stunning.
