Wisdom of the Stars

DanceOfThePoet'sPen

For what could be the reason
When I look up at the night sky
Suddenly I’m compelled to write
For wisdom of the stars I pry

Or is it the stars
Who call upon me
With twinkling inspiration
In the starlight I see

Then on the ocean horizon
The coming of dawn’s early light
And oh, how wonderful
Tranquil and peaceful this sight

With seagulls aloft
Soaring on gentle breeze
The tide calmly advances
Soft waves to the beach they tease

And the morning hours
Fuel for more poetic words
Notions within my heart
Certainly, I’ve heard

As the hours pass
Life awakens in town
Activity everywhere
Morning greetings abound

The sun’s light poetically dances
Everything it touches spawns life anew
The colors throughout the day
Smiles on happy faces too

Slowly, the sun descends
As it’s pulled down from the sky
A sunset so beautiful
Hypnotized, all I can do is sigh

Again, I’m captivated
As the stars come out
Now I see wisdom of the stars
Inspirational light no doubt

DanceOfThePoet'sPen

Guess you could say I'm a self taught poet. I started writing poetry as a means of dealing with the emotions of finding my Birthmother's obituary and grave site after searching for 10 years. I continued writing and over the course of the last 20 years I've become comfortable in how I write. You'll notice I tend to write a lot about nostalgia and old memories. Hey, when you round the corner of 60 years, you start thinking a lot about the past and where you've been. One of my subjects I write about is love, but I try to write of other things too. I've lived on the south shore of Massachusetts for all of my 64 years. But I love all of New England. Aside from writing poetry, I also love photography and have quite a collection of old antique cameras. Baseball, football, muscle cars and car shows are also some of my interests. Not too crazy about Winter. Spring & Summer are my favorite seasons. more…
