Star Poem by Valerie Dohren

Star

Rating: 5.0


I scarce could see the rainbow's hue
Through teardrops in my eyes
Nor hear the skylark singing sweet
In soft and sapphire skies

O heavy was my heart, as then
All hope seemed cast away -
Upon the windows of my soul
The light no more did play

But still there seemed a gentle glow
In distant reaches set
As there a lone star shone above
To herald fortune yet

I pondered thus upon the scene
All fixed before my sight
An awesome feeling stirred within -
Such wonder and delight

How could this star yet move me so
To set my soul aflame -
Why should it ever steal the void
And reap all heav'n's acclaim

(There be a tale from ages passed
Of such a star, so fine,
Which then, ‘tis said, resplendent shone
Upon the land, divine)

What story do you deem to tell
What secrets do you hold -
To render hope, are you set there,
And all true dreams unfold

O star that gleams beyond, above,
On high for all to see
Bestow your grace across the world
Upon humanity

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO
ALL AND THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
VALUED SUPPORT THROUGH 2012 - Val :)
