The stars are different here

The stars are different here.

Before, 

in that place, 

they were so 

Vibrant. 

Little specks of hope, 

knowing they were needed. 

Here, 

in this place, 

you have to search for them. 

As if they have 

handed off that job 

saying, 

Now you can do it 

for yourself. 

You’re ready.

' The stars were so many. You believe, you could touch them.'

Oh yes and yes again, a sky like that is surely infinity and all it can offer. To look up and feel the stars touching cheek or hand is bliss. Whatever came before that, whatever comes after has learned to accept less of emptiness and more of joy., perhaps. A poem to cherish.

You have to imagine they are still there to guide you. You can do it. Nice piece of brevity Green.

I trained at death Valley, California with the Army. The stars were so many. You believe, you could touch them. I liked the honest thoughts in the poetry and the strong ending. I believe in the ending. We must learn. We must do the needed things alone. Thank you Green for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
