In the Night-Dark Sky by =Teague-Drydan:iconTeague-Drydan:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Fixed


Twinkle, twinkle so little star
how I wonder how brave you are.
Shining there the whole night long,
shedding light for the weak and strong.

Can you spare a beacon for one depressed?
Just a silver sliver for one distressed?
Or does your blanket cover all,
one forever standing tall?

Silver beacon in the night-dark sky
is there hope for one as I?
You with many-a twinkling friend,
can you comfort to me extend?

I've been told that I'm a star,
brightly burning away so far
never in my wildest dreams did I
believe that I could be a glimmer in the sky
To lofty of dream, that I fear,
landing hard on streets of drear.

To grow, to reach, my starry friends,
a dream I dare not dream.
To marvel in their glistening light,
is my fortune in life it seems.

Twinkle, twinkle so little star
how I wonder how brave you are.
Shining there the whole night long,
shedding light for the week and strong.

Author's Comments

Written...too bloody early, if you ask me. But the muse knows no time, right?

Partially inspired by the children's rhyme "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and, more so, by a comment a friend made made yesterday, "you're a star."

This is an early Christmas gift to all my friends, but specifically to:
:iconweavingmagic::iconelvandia::iconcausticstock::iconshadowleoparddreams::iconrandomaxes::iconamazonofexeter::iconelandria::iconnina16:

And to may watchers who have suffered thru my wildly changing deviations.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and many, many Thanks to all.

:hug: hun .. Your friends watch over you along side your lil star ... I think peeps call you a star cos they want you to shine with them too as I know you do .. maybe they fear being alone or leaving a cherished friend behind when they sore off to where ever they go .. its like elevating you to the dizzy world they exist in so that they can keep you close ...

Remember always hun .. you mean a lot to them as they also mean to you :D

Merry Chrismas sweetheart, Happy new year and here is to all the adventures we will all have in the future .. I know you mean a lot to us all ..

To love is to be vulnerable.

If life gives you lemons - ask if they are unwaxed and then make risotto - at least you won't be facing life on an empty stomach...:D

Life is not about how you survived the storm ;
