Winter

I have seen the stars

Love letters in their hands

A promise of a future

Yet, no solace have they planned

As the first dove flew

Along the winter came

No flake of similarity

To ease the midnight pain

 

The chorus rose

To meet the sleepy dawn

Glisten sweet upon the heart of souls

The battle torn

 

The stars sent their letters

And so the sun must lie

Upon another winters evening

With ever watching eye.

. oh, this is just so beautifully poignant ... all the images are mesmerizing and poetic beyond measure ... "no flake of similarity" is sheer genius ... amazing, just amazing ... how i wish that the letters that the stars sent ... were received and read ...

This is beautiful. I love the last two lines.

Cheryl J Turner, this a very a good poem. Am I mistaken at just the slightest hint of darkness to it? It's like being lost, I think... At least, that's what it feels like. Needless to say, you've written an excellent piece, here.

the imagery is beautiful in this poem and I love the line The stars sent their letters. This poem speaks so true about the matters of love and wishing upon stars.
