And the stars came down
one by one from the sky
leaving the moon to guide me home
And I wondered why the journey took so long.
Casting around, the shadows lay
like dead men searching and asking why?
Why now when clarity prevails
and the jigsaw puzzle fits perfectly:
The pieces have come together
just like I knew they would
But there is now no time to appreciate
the jewels that I scraped from the sullen earth
Dug so deep, plucking each one
As if my life depended thereon
Earth’s reluctance to give them up
knowing it was not theirs to keep
Ah, this life, this life
Now dark, then light, and dark again
Fatal Attraction’s Glenn Close style
light switch flickering illuminating the way
Making night day, as Puccini plays
And the stars came down one by one
leaving the moon to guide me home:
And I find the journey has only just begun
~ Marie Williams – 2017

Absolutely beautiful in its poignancy, dear Marie. This piece has a lyrical, song- and dream-like quality to it, I feel. Many congratulations!

Oh, Sam. This made me cry. I feel as if it were written just for me. That line, “But there is now no time to appreciate the jewels that I scraped from the sullen earth,” is so poignant. And yet you end on an uplifting, spiritual note. An amazing piece of work. It is, in my view, on a par with Keats. ❤ ❤ ❤

I don’t quite know what to say Anna. Whilst I’m thrilled that you’re comparing me to Keats – which blows me away, and I’m sure I’m not worthy, I don’t want to make you cry. I’m so touched that you felt a connection here and were able to share it. Thank you so much – you are always so encouraging with your comments which means a lot to me. ❤ ❤ ❤

Thank you Neal. I guess we’re both on the metaphorical train at the moment. I don’ want you to be crying though … although I’m touched that this resonated with you. 💛 💛

Your words remind me of this beautiful quote by Edgar Allan Poe “Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears”. 🙂

WordPress is your forum for expression and your Poems and writings are an expose’ of the most intimate and more poignant of life journeys, but as you journal your path to light may you find that overcoming adversity with creativity is the most truest and purest form of therapy one can experience. The deeper one delves into the psyche and allows the process of letting go, the more the soul finds healing and divine freedom. Be blessed in the knowing that you are free being.
And even if,
“the stars came down one by one
Leaving the moon to guide me home:
and I find my journey has just begun”.
Let the moon light brighten your path way to life … and courage to publishing your anthology of poems.

Thank you so much dear Purple. Your kind, compassionate and encouraging words certainly brighten my path.
Now the anthology … that’s another thing, but it would be great if that happened before my journey ends/begins. 🙂
