By Night

A chance to meet in dreams.

Have you seen the stars, my love
Like royalty in the sky
Cloaked in their dazzling mantle
They watch and they guide
They guide my soul to you.

Time is the illusionist's tool
But starlight unveils
And night brings nearer
The remedy to our heartache
A chance to dream together.

All of this, my dear
The world that surrounds
The distance that divides
Is no more than a final winter storm
Crashing through our hearts
And leaving Spring in its wake.

Tomorrow when the sun
Has overthrown the moon
We will rise with hope
Comforted by thoughts of each other
And the dreams we shared by night.

Some thoughts....
"Time is the illusionist's tool..." great line. Stars are an illusion of time, as well. As we still see a star even long after its death, thus it has then cheated time.

Much can be made of time and love outside of time....but I ramble..

I enjoyed reading.

A very intriguing piece here:)

yes, thats a very good try, i do appreciate it, but I feel it could be re-worked to some extend- its inspiring quality could be clearer for the reader, they could be left with more reason to applaud.

I enjoyed reading it. Beautiful lines of consolation and assurances :)S

Its amazing the endless possibilities the stars give us, expanding our own perception and tying it to other souls keeping us within distance of one another.

I like how you using a poem to talk about how we need to re-emerge ourselves in beauty of the natural world.

A beautiful and hopeful poem. When the sun and the moon is in the moon. There is always hope.
"Tomorrow when the sun
Has overthrown the moon
We will rise with hope"

[Sugar Plum ♥]

So deeply gentle, radiating serenity and optimism poem! I love this angel-like voice, who sings about the night and stars...and make me think how all is changing in the world, except only love. All your words describe so nicely feeling of love, sharing and overcoming the "night". wonderful piece, Odrah!
