I can only step forward before the dawn

For a moment,
  I can shine.

Everyone looks at the morning star.

Now,
  I can contain the glow,
     and wait to shine again.

I love the simplicity yet absolute universality and emotion in this poem. Bravo.

Thank you!

and why does it make you sad ? It reminds me of a star that is waiting for evening ….

[Jon Roggie]

This is why I need input. I can't get the image of someone waiting, day in....
Only time to shine is in the morning sun. Just to not be noticed.

If you add what you input you need in your authors note..I bet more would assist ( :
There is so many ways to shine..even for a little star in day time…
my drink of choice is tea…but try some hot tea..perhaps loose leaf.. look at the sky…don't think, just admire that little stars world… it will come…you have to become what you write about… then your vision changes..that is why the garden is so special ( ;

Now, if I put in notes, there goes the fun!

Just a thought, crossed my mind.

I had to stop myself a few minutes ago. Vague enough to bring in ..... I don't even know!

Something was bugging me about this one. I realized. It just makes me sad.
