"I hope you will come along dreaming too / As we make dreams of poetry come true "


Poem Artwork

Of Diamond Stars on Blue Velvet Sky

I like to read poetry which asks me
Questions and causes me to wonder why
Things are as they are like a shooting star
Crossing my mind to leave the world behind
And I also like for poems to be
Like meditations or ruminations
About the nature of reality

Of diamond stars on blue velvet sky

Sparkling in autumn when the nights are clear
A sky just meant to be for poetry
When Santa Ana winds are blowing here
For the lovers as their warm breath hovers
Between those stars up there and you and me
The breath of the desert from far away
Breathing magic through the night by starlight

Warm and cool at the same time as in rhyme

I like poetry which helps make me free
Which inspires me like that breath of the wind
I want to share in this freedom with you
A freedom no government can rescind
And so I will write and so I will fight
I hope you will come along dreaming too
As we make dreams of poetry come true

Stevie,

You have captured something simply amazing with this poem. I have seen this van Gogh piece used with many a poem over the years, but your interpretation is by far one of the best!

Your words do inspire - and so thank you for them. Sometimes being a poet is a lonely endeavor, your words remind me that as writers, we journey together.

Peace,

~Rose~
