Dedicated to my young nephew, Tony McGovern, who is currently deployed to a base in northeastern Afghanistan called Camp Joyce, near the Pakistani border. In a recent email, he noted the exceptional brilliance of the star-studded nightsky. I recall a visit, so long ago, to the wilds of northwestern Kashmir where billions & billions of stars shone above--it was truly breathtaking.
Here's to Tony; may he stay safe!

 

~Star Dust~

 

All the stars above

Heaven's jewels bring sheer delight

Motherland on stage

 

We are not alone

Porchlights glowing from afar

Neighborhood at peace

 

Comforting to know

Just a star dust ride away

All that IS looms large

 

Oh, starry, starry night!
