Those Bright Stars

This poem was written during a beautiful, but for me restless, summer night as I was outside enjoying

the coolness of the dark, before the coming heat of the day. The sky was clear and the stars were

so bright, as if I could almost reach out and touch them, and somehow, in some way, bring my love

closer to me. During the time it took to write the poem, the birds stirred and sang their song, heralding

the dawn. It was the ending of another night of loneliness, with hope for what the new day would bring.

As I sit here watching

Those stars bright in the sky

I wonder if you too are looking up

And also asking why

Why our hearts have touched this way

When we are so far apart

Are the feelings that we feel tonight

From deep within our heart

Then I feel the cool dark air

As it sends shivers down my spine

And my heart whispers out to yours

Please, won’t you always be mine?

See, it is those silent whispers

That keeps the dark at bay

And it’s with those special whispers

I see the nights merge into day

For with the opening of the dawn

Come the chorus of the birds

As they welcome in each new day

With music more beautiful than words

For this is what I feel within

As love's music fills my heart

It overcomes the pain I feel

Because we are apart

So I will sit and watch those stars

And send this love of mine to you

Praying for the start of dawn

When all things begin anew

For with the dawning of the day

The night is put behind

As it’s with beauty for the future

The songs of birds remind

Remind us of the love we have

And love we are given to
