Unlike a Star

Relic filled soul

Some years of gold 

Guiltless loving hands

Found paving a glow

Turning another petal

Leaning into a dance

Often touching glass

Lost without a halo

Crystal blues to brown

Softly sings to land

A handle of time

Lively tune

Born out of the hundredth star

Seamlinglessly seen too proud

A forgotten whistle 

A resonating truth

Innocently born of life

Clouded up in skies

Sworn to an old stone

Joyous in form

Tender be lady like kind

Caring through night

"Born out of the hundredth star" I can't help but think of the night sky. There are billions of stars, each of them making it spectacular. We are the same, each of us make the world spectacular. Great job!

[John the Baptist]

The accompanying picture seems to portray an individual being rescued by a mermaid, so I guess the work is related to a mermaid myth. The words come across as a type of free association method which does not read like a recitation of linear events. Some of them do seem to point to the rescue theme, but I could not deduce anything more.

how many are those who paved for us the roads, who gave Love and sacrifices, whose names are not recognized? first I was attached to Your title, then Your photo because I'm a lover for mermaids, then as I read Your words, some of them settled inside me, You took the mermaid legend into another level, She is the timeless golden symbol of Love and sacrificing, like many others ones who might be not a shining star as She but they are there, everywhere... a poem filled with heart my friend, there is deep sadness and a tear coming from the depths into the eye. well done.

Searching poem this one.
One bright star in a constellation of billions.
Maybe one is all we need though.

I very much enjoyed this poem, which also looks good on the page... might I ask whether you mean seamlessly in the 7th stanza... the odd neologism is fine by me tho if I am mightily mistook...... Neville

a star can only shine no matter what. not easy to always let our light shine. the clouds of life can darken us and steal happiness. who we are cannot be denied though, no matter. must be ourselves and fight the good fight. very deep, powerful and emotive ... :)

A very meaningful review

seems a tortured soul Lingering ... finding release in the dance (love that) .. also find your "..old stone" and incredible image .. that gathers warmth in the sunlight .. we usually think of stones as pretty cold .. yours gives me a completely different perspective "Joyous in form" .. the closing reminds your protagonist of the "rules" one is brought up in ... a woman is nurturing .. even if tormented in life .. carry that pain and reflect love .. the dichotomy in life not lost on me ..this line "Seamlinglessly seen too proud" i really stumble over ... Seamlinglessly is a long stretch unless it is a typo ;) life is a many splendored thing says i .. and i see glimpses of much of it in your poem .. thanks for sharing!
