Leap for the Stars

Make a wish upon a star!

Skipping on clouds, 

reaching for the stars

hop over the moon

 to see where you are

Love awaits somewhere

 beyond the rainbow

each step must be

 deliberate and slow

Don't take love

 or starry nights for granted

never give up hope

for your life's enchanted

Angels live as

 heavenly celestial beings

the stars their mystical

 ambrosial blessings

Dream on a 

full blue moon high in the sky

of cotton candy kisses

 and warm apple pie

Take that great leap of faith

 over the galaxy

there's stardust

 waiting for you and me

Author's Note

Another beautiful painting by my dear friend battling for her life after a bone marrow transplant. This one is for Star!

Dream on a full blue moon high in the sky
of cotton candy kisses and warm apple pie...........oh yes!! May we all be able to experience the joy of such dreams!

Your tribute to your dear friend through this poem is so very touching and warms my heart! May total healing come to Star by the energy of a million twinkles!!!

p.s. I don't see her painting in the avatar. It just appears black. It is such a beautiful painting. I hope you can add it to your poem for her!!

For some reason I couldn't get that to work, so I put her lovely work in the body, those are twinkling stars if you open it....that which she is.

[Sheila Kline]

Oh, I just opened it and it is exquisite....how nice of you!!!

Homage poetry is one of my favorites and this work proves why that's true.

[Frieda P]

Sweet doc! Thanks so much.

"collateral healing" is not the avoidance of death but the healing of the soul. I will continue to "light a candle" for Star, as you have done here. I pray for her healing and for her life.
She has a great friend in you.

Thanks David, muchly appreciated, she is lovely, unfortunately not doing so great right now, your prayers are welcome, and I thank you kindly for those.

Good work here. I'm mustering all of the positive energy I can and sending it your way (you can pass it on to Star; I don't know her spiritual address) ;-)
