A Quiet Whisper To The Stars

If my stars decide to be nice tonight,

And grant me one desire

I will not ask for money, or silver and gold

Or to flee a predicament that's dire

I will not ask for more wishes, 

Or for happiness that has no end

I will not ask for eternal beauty

Or the revival of a deceased friend

I will not ask to feel treasured

Or for a gentleman to kiss my hand

In fact what I have in mind,

Isn't for many to understand

All that I will wish for, dear stars

Is a turn back in Old Father Time

And a quiet evening to myself

Back in the days that were so sublime

All I will ask is the temporary surety of life,

The way it previously was

And with these words, I shall end

With my quiet whisper to the stars

Author's Note

I haven't written a poem in ages! Was just thinking back to those days when the poet in me was still alive, and this was the result. Reviews are welcome. :)

"The temporary purity of life".... i like that line it makes you wonder what is the purity of life and where does it start. Is it from childhood where everything is a wonder and you have no cares in the world? Or when you are able to purely be yourself. Content and happy that you have remained true to the person you are? Nicely done.

very well written...isn't it true life is so fast paced and sometimes so complicated that all we want is some peace and quiet to just sit back and relax....not think about past or the future..but revel in the calm.

absolutely. Time can be a curse sometimes. But it isn't in our hands.
