Star light

Just a memory from once upon a time

Oh how the stars gleam tonight.
I sit and stare vacantly into the vastness,
Wishing for a dream from long ago.
Then the darkness slowly parts, and the brilliance lays above me.
A shooting star fills the glorious sky,
Slowly moving past my teary eyes.
Slowly my lips move.
Words remembered from long past,
Gently leave, lifting with the soft breeze around me.. 

'Star light, star bright. First star I see tonight'..

Much beauty and sadness...wishing for something bright when all is not. Beautiful pen upon this poem.

Ah yes, the flash of a shooting star can last for a lifetime. Evocative write-- very moving.

There is intense beauty to be found in staring at the stars. We are of them. The notion of the universe being sort of ... over there seems odd to me. We are part of it. It is in us. The same atoms that make everything, stars, the words are in us. We are the universe perceiving itself. And so it moves us to tears.

This brings back memories for me just wanting and hoping for a shooting star to wish upon. This is very beautiful yet seems kinda sad, perhaps I'm just putting my own emotions upon your wonderful poem.

Fist star I see tonight'

I am sure you meant first star, at least I hope so, LOL

Seriously hopes and dreams are all around us and right in front of our eyes and not even the darkness can hide them.

Well in keeping with the season Gumba Shooting stars are special---- you can wish on them!

This reminds me of nights in the desert where you could literally
could 100 shooting stars easily per night. Its beautiful. Your elegant
words do those nights justice.
