Soul Gazing

Positioned beneath a 
Moonless sky
An absence of stars
Weighs heavy
On my mind
For each is a reminder
That life is
Amazingly
Beautiful
And each stills
A worried
Heart

      I do tend to get straight to the point. I'd like to work more detail in... but I write like I feel. Thanks for coming by to read!

    The stars bring a sense of peace in creation and in our souls. The lights in the darkness. Sometimes though we find it hard to see them but if we keep looking for them they appear and are always there even when we fail to see them for a while.

    What a gorgeous image, that the countless stars would each still a worried heart. I can never see them the same after this.

      Haha... thanks so much! Yes, I see the stars as my time to think and reflect on my life... I gaze at them to find peace within myself.

    You took an opposite tack, and had us look at a starless night. Contemplative, really. Nice job.

    Your poem reminds me of how we realize we care about something when it's no longer there.

    Beautiful thoughts in words of how darkness can dampen our spirits.

    I too hope the moon and stars are shining for you soon.
