# Starry Night Poem by Sonya Florentino
# Starry Night
To dream
What for
Disappointment on hold
Life unfolds
Another star falls
On my lap
Another one that didn’t last
Quickly turning into dust
So fast
The dream
The star
Was all it was, dust
What more follows
The night sky still sparkles
Beckoning, inviting
Promising tomorrow
Another star
A billion more
For sorrow

Beautiful, Sonya. And so genuine. Your last stanza lingers in the mind. Warm regards, Sandra
Fantastic! :) And so easy for me to relate to. Your analogy was so special.
I knew I would love Starry Night by the title. You have written it with simply beautiful imagery and it flows like magic. 'Another star falls on my lap' did it for me. Top marks Karin Anderson
Beautiful piece! Imagery matches the tone of the poem perfectly! So easy to read as well. Thanks, roshni.

Sometimes you reach for the stars and you only need to touch the special one for heaven to open. A very sad write of broken dreams..........
