We'll Be The Stars

We'll Be The Stars

A Poem by Kelly Scheppers
"

...an ethereal high

"

We’ll be the Stars


 *


A full moon

tethers us to sleep

 

Angels fly

through a celestial sky,

and the man in the moon is a fiddler…

 

but we are the stars, my love

             we’ll be the stars.

I really enjoy the Papyrus font you've selected for this sweet Free Verse, Kelly; it lends a lovely touch to your composition, and the asterisks certainly play with the imagination as softly-rounded romantic stars in a moonlit night.
As I read this for the third time through, with each it dawned on me just how genuinely gentle and warm you'd have to be to string such loveliness together, and it feels sincere with tender affection for your "love".

It is just beautiful, Kelly, from a beautiful heart … thank you with warmest hugs! ~ Richard

I will always be back . . . just so long as I find poetry like this to read . . . and savour!!!
counting each one as the night falls ....he plays a melody and hearts soften with the simplicity of your insightful thoughts. Your words fall like petals when your poetry is read. They are meant to be there...on the page...it's serene. I've always been a fan!

I agree and you are welcome Kelly.
Ethereal and mythical. I feel transcended into another world, a heavenly world up in the clouds with other stars, that one moon. I also admire the formatting, the font colors, the stars as well. Very cute, celestial.

...wow, thank you so much, Nadia!
Sun's only a 'star' so are you.

When it gets replaced with moon, another twinkling fiddlers & wandering diddlers come appeared up in the darken-sky & allow the lonely-hearts go join their company in the suit of pursuit of 'brighten-stars'. Stars're immortal so is life. Liked the concept you cracked behind this piece 'bout treasuring the life long-lasting. It makes very vivid imagery across hearts as well... 'bout getting swayed along winds; twinkling alike stars; loving with kindness with no-heartache when no boundaries of love're restricted; no loaf of memories (tears) sustain for long but... only the love for love for long - the love that belongs to the glimpse of brightness & the shine of sun. Nice poetry you've come up with another redemption of love!

Always good by me.
I must say from what I remember, you really have improved as a writer. This is romantic to say the least. The image and the metaphors are great in this even though its a short piece. Well done Kelly.

Kelly,

A fact that might interest you. Hemoglobin is found in star matter. That's our scientific connection. However, your romantic version breathes very deep into the soul. You are a verbal wonder!

Love,
Al
