IN THE EYES OF STARS
by Melissa Arel
life has birthed a passion into your wandering soul, where
strength lies not in hands alone, but in a heart willing to believe
in more than what our ears can hear and our fingertips can touch.
inspiration draws from the well of your mind, craving the taste
of ethereal dreams and transcending hope, illuminated
in the eyes of stars and of lovers who join in mutual correlation.
you have awakened the dawn with your words of beauty
your verse has beckoned the moon to stand and notice
the poet's heart of purity, and the scripted epiphany of love.

| Posted by Tim D Livingston on 02/23/03 at 06:17 AM Wow, I am so very honored Melissa. Your writing does the same for me, believe me. This poem is so beautiful. Lately I've been wondering why I'm such a dreamer. Been thinking about Joseph and Daniel in the Bible. Your poem comes to me right from the heart of God. Thank you. |
