Constellations and Winter Planets.
Constellations and winter planets. ( Scavnger Hunt # 5)
Paper boats in the day
sparklers at night
hugs and kisses, sweet memories...
each like a star in the sky.Hugs that felt warm
smiles that charmed,tender in the cocoon of my breast
some twinkling stars, others just lying around
like winter planets, treasured, untouchable.And when the stars cry and the ground turns white
with their tears, I reach into my treasure chest
and gather them around my soul; not an overwhelming
presence for others,but my own constellations nevertheless!

Wonderful images! Your own constellations of the heart!! Yes and yes again!!
I always feel, that if I have to survive this blogging habit of mine, I have to at least pretend to be half as good as the mouse!
Leah's challenges are tough, and I have to think a lot before putting pen to paper, (or, fingers to the key board!). I am glad my compositions make you smile, and I am deeply grateful for your kind words. Always, I hope you know that.
"and the ground turns white with their tears"- I have rarely seen such an exquisite phrase! May the stars, and all of us, have less reason to cry, as the year plods on.
awww, thank you Gary.
Sometimes we cry and it heals but it hurts too.
Isn't that the truth? Tears and laughter are in juxtaposition with each other, always together I think.
Good Morining, Dr. Zakiah
