Twinkling Star

Twinkle, twinkle little star

marred with scars of love and war

you shine when the world is sleeping tight

like a ray of hope guiding through the night

 

Twinkle, twinkle little star

witnessing my euphoria and despair

you are like an oasis in the barren sky

bravely, holding your ground up so high

 

Twinkle, twinkle little star

marred with scars of love and war

you blink and wink while I gaze

bring the new moon, spellbound in daze

 

Twinkle, twinkle little star

I stoically wait, from afar

for you to soothingly touch my soul,

rejuvenate my body, make me whole

A collage of many thoughts. Rhyme also plays its role very well. I liked it. Not much to say.

As always, the poem is filled with numerous articulate thoughts. Some times i think that why don't humans realize the simple fact that the universe is big-big-bigger than any conflict or whatever. Well, but reading your work gave me this thought, so powerful the poem is. Nice one. Keep it up.

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Thank you Gaurav for your valuable insights. :)

Hey Jyoti!
It's been a while since i've been here, and read your writing too for that matter!
This was totally worth logging in! It's so serene, and picturesque. Surprisingly calming and, of course beautiful!
One thought i picked up from your poem that'll stay with me is that, stars are pretty, yet marred.
Great write! :)

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Oh thank you Ishita! Glad you liked it! Stay happy!
