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

i so agree ...gazing at the night sky is mesmerizing ... takes the breath away when the moon and stars declare themselves ... all we can do is drink them in ... and when clouds obscure it all ..i can not help but feel disappointed :( i think the repetition of the first two lines is a good idea ..those lines for me are strong. there is something to be said for having gone through the scars ... and survived without malice ... i think this is a tight poem reflective of life at a fine stage!

We always grasp for what is not always so easy to old. Ever the dreamer, we cast our gaze afar, hoping to obtain that which will make us whole. The wish is always there, and there is always a star. Very pretty.
