Star Wishing and Praying

The silvery moonlight sprawls outward
Across an onyx sea of content
Speckled with flickering blue stars
That are quietly patiently waiting
For some one to lovingly wish upon them

The cool midnight air envelopes with peace
It’s presence is noticeably silent
No rustling of leaves can be heard
Or whispers within the tall tree tops
The wind chimes remain static hanging

Gazing upon the star I’ve deemed mine
I send up a hopeful quiet wish
Along with my prayer of guidance to God
Seeking to find the correct direction
Star wishing that someday he’ll be mine

Nocturnal creatures seem serene tonight
Hoot owls haven’t taken winged flight
Raccoons aren’t scurrying about
Nor is a distant dog softly barking

My brain blanketed in charcoal comfort
As the velvet sea houses glittering orbs
Circulating thoughts flow with freedom
No restraints against their fluid movements
Am I suppose to release control and love him?
For tonight the answer is out of reach.

I have wished upon the stars often dear poet.

I liked the above lines. I wonder does the night hear our wishes and prayers. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Oh I believe the night hears our prayers. In solitude we often pray our most heartfelt messages to God.

[Coyote Poetry]

I hope the stars do dear friend.

A gorgeous poem written in spiritual, genuine seeking; you pick nocturnal serene times for contemplations. I hope you keep seeking and finding your heart's desires.

Thanks Sami we shall see. I ask this question once a week or so

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! You are welcome.

top-notch, this is beautiful. i have tears in my eyes as i read. only a beautiful soul could write such a thing. sounds like love to me but then again what do i know.

[Poetic Beauty]

I could fall head over heels if I would allow myself but the situation is a bit unconventional

[Thomas W Case]

Beautiful work. Tremendous use of language.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you for reading

Such beautiful imagery in this poem and the use of deeper meaning in symbols is so good. "For tonight the answer is out of reach." in relation to the answer by imaged by stars that are also out of reach, wonderful. Use of foreshadowing in the stars waiting and wind chimes not moving resolved in the last of the poem where the question can not be answered tonight. Great metaphors here as well. Brilliant!

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m so glad you liked the still wind chime and the far away stars. I do actually have a star in the sky I’ve deemed mine and I do look at it while talking to God and sometimes I wish upon that star as well

Love needs no boundaries yet we restraint ourselves as to how much we can believe a stranger or really he or she is mine? Amazing lines. I really enjoyed your read.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. This is a deeper inner thought poem that shows a very different side than many of my poems recently. I do this exact thing many times a week. Looking at the stars seeking Gods divine guidance and wishing upon the star that I have deemed mine years ago. I know which one it is each night as look up and I can find it as the the night moves along. I kind of use it for talking to God.

Wow! That's something really amazing to know that you're following your stars for prayers from that long. I wish all your prayers should come true. God bless you!

I’m a lover of the nocturnal hours and find serenity and peace during those hours. I watch the night sky all the time and one night I picked a star. I’ve watched it long enough now I know which one it is as the hours pass.

[Writer at last! Sky ~]

What a wonderful hobby of gazing the stars at late night and then making one friend out of those millions. I'm really impressed.

[Poetic Beauty]

Try watching the stars for half an hour each night or a couple of weeks. They will become your friends.

[Writer at last! Sky ~]

I will definitely try this soon. Thank you!

[Poetic Beauty]

You are welcome. It is my time of day where I relax and find peace

Take care!!!
