Stars In A Jar

Jayasree

In the silence of predawn 

as the night gets ready

to wrap up

the twinkling stars

in it's dark velvet cloth,

I reach up and gather

a handful of them;

stars that sparkle

like diamonds;

to hold in my palm

to hide in a jar;

my secret treasure 

a jar full of dreams

a jar full of stars 

to light up

my darkest nights.

  • Comment from author about the poem: At about 4 in the morning I woke up and went out to the balcony, and looking up at the beautiful star studded night sky, my heart was filled with so much joy. It was as if God had sprinkled diamonds all over the sky. Glittering and sparkling, they were so beautiful, I felt like storing them up in a jar.
