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 :)

Tear filled eyes enthused by the distant glow of hope, dispelling gloom and stirring the soul to seek divine benevolence for all humanity. Noble thoughts wonderfully expressed. There is an uncommon eloquence in whatever you write. Admirable. Wishing you very best for the coming season and new year.
