Stars
Oh most beautiful star
In the sky tonight
You are most bright
I watch and wait
With hand raised up
Open and waiting
Slowly, oh so slowly
You move through
The night sky
You come closer
As I watch and wait
Hand outstretched
Then ever so softly
You come to rest
In the palm of my hand
You shine like a diamond
Your brilliance
Holds me in awe
I could almost wish
To hold you tight
To keep you safe just for me
In time, your light
Would fade from sight
You would die
To me and to all
So I let you stay
As long as you wish
With palm open
So you may leave at will
You will travel back
To the night sky
To shine brightly
For all to see
I will cherish
The moments you gifted me
With your light
Specially for me
For a little while…
Star So Bright

Dear Ann, for some reason, over the past few years, I have fallen in love with stars – finding meaning through them…your descriptions and gentle words are so appreciated and loved. Thank You! 🙂 Patti
Hi Patti, I am so glad you like this peace. It is one of my own favorites. I will never forget how I felt as it was coming into being, as I wrote.
This is beautiful – I feel like I could reach up and touch the stars!

Thanks Barbara, glad you like it. This piece came to me one night some years ago while walking my dog. It was a starry night and I sensed myself with opened hand out and the star in it for a few brief moments.
WHEN WE ARE IN TUNE WITH ‘HIM’, THEN THROUGH HIS CREATED WONDERS…WE ARE GIFTED WITH WONDERFUL MOMENTS OF ‘DELIGHT’ THAT CELEBRATE THE MAJESTY OF HIS HANDS AND HIS HEAVENLY TREASURES. AHHH…HOW DOES THE SOUL DOES FLY SO FREE, WHEN WE ALLOW IT TO. BEAUTIFULLY DONE AND ENJOYED. THANK YOU, ANN AND MANY CONTINUED BLESSINGS. LOVE AND FAITH…JOYCE
