Taken literally, I too miss the stars. I remember when young going to the mountains with no outside light and seeing so many stars, now all gone due to light pollution. But figuratively, I feel that the present has taken the stars from our eyes with its form of light pollution. Nicely done Chris.

Wow, this is an awesome piece of work. Now I am thoroughly embarrassed that you have taken the time to read the drivel I write. I just saw the little dipper the other night and I cant remember seeing anything but low altitude satellites, or high altitude drones around here. By the way tonights full moon was a wonderful sight .

We don’t often get a display of starlight, but like you make the most of the moon.

Good morning dear Chris,
I am finally back after over 5 long weeks of being quite ill.
So excited to be reading my favorite poets words.
This one of yours is so clever. Love the whole poem.
The words moved along so easily.
Really good!!
Lisa, now back to reading, and reviewing in Spain

That was really nice Chris, though to lose the stars is a sad thought. But I guess clouds could do that as well and the good thing is, the clouds will eventually disappear, and your beloved stars will be found right where they have always been and if not, I am sure I have a few spare stars sitting around somewhere I would be happy to give to you.

Thank you for your generous review will. An older poem out for an airing.
We're full of dreams when we're young and they fizzle out over time until (for some of us) we have nothing left to strive for but the end.

This just fits. The time, the place, our feelings and the truth. Profound and yet enjoyably rythmic for all that.

City lights swept away almost the stars.
This was the greed of human which haunts him as every minute pass.
Chris you have described the pain in such a wonderful way that it seems to be beautiful tragedy to me. Really liked the thought, once again great work by you.Thanks for sharing

Your most welcome Chris . May you have great day ahead
However hard I try to be original, it makes no sense at all to try and mend something or make it better when it is not broken, or say's it all for you in the first place .. so in this case, I'm most definitely with JD Major
