IN THE COMPANY OF STARS

IN THE COMPANY OF STARS

Somewhere beyond this blanket of snow
gently powdering the earth in s i l e n c e
stars (maybe souls) shine brilliantly on
in deep space,
keeping watch.

People search for each other and never connect
sometimes stepping over
or around one another
like jewels on the ground
softly shining.

Others do~
(connect)
but then as time yellows parchment,
forsake each other;
~the fallen angel of hope
that dies outside the lovers heart.

Maybe, they might have made it.
Maybe not.
Maybe the Truth is:
we are in the company of stars;
but we are never
we are always
more than ONE.

About this poem:

Here and there, we find Love, time wears on us, the sparkle dulls, but still we search. All of us are rare, like rubies, diamonds, emeralds. or like stars, lying on the ground, but we all connected by sorrow. We are all connected by Love.

This is so true to life, so touching. I agree, we are unique, each of us has a glitter of our own - a bright star lost in the brightness of other stars, so we can't outshine others, we can't show our worth, we can only hope someone will take notice and appreciate, and then maybe, hopefully, we shall be "more than ONE". Thank you for sharing this poem with us!
