The Stars are Hidden

On my night’s walk through the snow ‘neath clouded skies…

 

The Stars are hidden

Past veiled, lace-woven clouds

Misted, muted light

On gardens of white ice…

Yet I see them glowing

In my mind’s eye

As in dreams

That ride on wings of doves…

Now step-stepping onward

The only sound my footsteps

Still.. still.. still.. they sing…

And all nature sleeps

In silent slow slumbers

As I waltz drifting

On snowy stone…

I hold a tenderness inside

In mystery of my muse

Yet am fierce as fire

Unyielding my dreams

Clinging like sea to shore

Unrelenting my will…

The stars are hidden

Yet I see them still…

Awe yes you put so eloquently into words how just because it can't been seen doesn't mean it don't exist... like love and faith... dreams too can never been seen fully just in bits as you build toward making it come true.
Top notch writing again sir.

Stars are hidden, yet you still see them, behind adversity, with means of a tender spirit inside, fierce as you are...yet clinging onto your dreams with an unrelentless will.
Imagery is lovely as is presentation!

So beautiful...I feel as though I was there, with you, on this white walk of wonder...

[Shellie]

I love the theme.... Just because you cant see or feel or touch something you still know they are there and the all ready visual you hold in your minds eye can make you see past the darkness and witness the beauty of a starry night. Lovely!!!

Another beautiful piece, Craig. Passionate yearnings are what I envision in this verse.

'gardens of white ice/I hold a tenderness inside/In mystery of my muse/...'

Amazing how we can feel someone even when we are unable to touch them, yes?

The conclusion is fire amidst ice....
