We lay close on cool sand counting stars in the velvet sky Knowing with each magical moment we spend together they align more perfectly in their shining, twinkling brilliance Love is born on this night of a thousand wishes As the celestial show dazzles Copyright © 2023 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved De is hosting Monday Quadrille at D’Verse and the prompt is ‘Stars’ A Quadrille is a poem of exactly 44 words, excluding the title
I lived in Dallas, Texas when my son was young. I remember we moved out of the city into the country when he was 9 years old. The big Texas sky is never-ending and at night the stars are amazing to watch.
I remember those hot summer nights when my son would love to camp out in the back yard or we would lay in the bed of the pick up truck and gaze at the stars. Orion was always our favorite constellation and to this day, even though we don’t live in Texas anymore, we are still in the south and I love to look up and pick out Orion, the hunter with the three stars on his belt.
Starlight and stars bright
Constellation Orion
Hunter of the sky

On this night of stars Where the velvet sky is clear and romance is in the scented air I look up into his face A place where I love to linger but my gaze is not returned The light is gone from his eyes His look is vacant and his mind clearly elsewhere He is present in body, though absent in spirit His heart, already taken back from me and likely given to another I knew then he was no longer mine My trail of tears was his parting gift Copyright © 2022 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Stream of Consciousness - Trail
