WHEN I WAS HOMELESS SOME YEARS AGO, I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I PEERED OUT OF THE WINDOW OF THE SHELTER AND RECEIVED THE ...PEACE...THAT YOU SPEAK ABOUT, WHICH ONLY HIS CELESTIAL PLEASURES COULD BESTOW. THERE 'HE' WAS, REAL AND WATCHING OVER ME! IT'S JUST MIRACULOUS HOW 'HE' TOUCHES AND ENCOURAGES AND CALMS...IN EVERY WAY, IF WE WOULD ONLY LOOK TO HIM. INDEED, SUCH A SOOTHING AND HOPEFUL SHARING, DIANA...THANK YOU SO MUCH! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS.

I really liked this one. Whenever I feel overwhelmed and alone, all I need to do is go outside and look up at the stars. Sincerely, Corrine Ardoin

Beautiful use of word play in these verses, I enjoyed reading and felt the equilibrium and peace in its message

So much beauty surrounds us all that some never see.

Starry Starry Night comes to mind when one contemplates the universe unfolding on a clear night sky and sadness overwhelm us with its cold brightness. Your poem really got me thinking…

Diana

When we are disappointed by our fellow human beings or perhaps a potential relationship has failed, we can turn to the many beauties that nature offers to soothe our bruised soul. I love your use of alliteration in this piece...soft, sable sky of Starlight...saddened soul...Mamma Moon's maternal gaze...worn and weary...Mellow Moonbeams...hopeful Heartstrings. Your poetry is always so tender.

You could not ask for much more that 'gladness and Peace.'
Cheers,

Lots of salvation in this poem, settling into a quieting finish. I think the idea of 'joy deserting us' is pretty descriptive. Perfect image for this poem, Diana. ~~ Diana

Beautiful offering that brings solace to the weary soul...I really needed this, thanks for sharing your lovely poem!

Anna

Open skies, camping in the moonlight. Hope to experience these in the near future. Your poem brings good thoughts to life. Bravo Diana!!

I love it. So well written. Thanks for sharing with us Diana. Mary

There is nothing like a clear starry night to gaze in wonderment at the different constellations and phases of the moon. Thank you for this soothing write!

Love ya!

Nightfall..a beach..a blanket..a case of wine..
strains of Clair de lune..celestial pleasures..and thee.
Choose your partner well, Diana...

Many have written verses and verses about celestial beings but this take is simply the best and true why we turn to them leaving all that we have behind!! This is sure coming from the heart and I can feel itJK

...worn out from carrying that...fighting...battling
along as humanly possible...excess baggage...finally
your "Celestial pleasures fill the void"...and I felt
the smoothing touch of your inspiring poem, Diana.
Thank you for sharing.

Sweet Mamma moon. Nice poem. Thanks for sharing.

Very sweet. Nice picture too!

A wonderful poem! I think I'll take a midnight stroll. Just gaze at the stars and hope. This is what this perfect poem says to me.
Well done!

Kathy

Celestial Pleasures is a very good title, I think, Diana. It is what drew me to your poem, which is a wonderful celebration of finding release from earthly sorrows in the clear contemplation of the heavens.

An absolutely delightful poem, Diana, and one that explains completely where we can look for the uplifting there is in the celestial heavens. Cool write.
