What if

peto

What if each of the stars in the sky is a soul

Sprinkling dust on the broken who feel less than whole 

If the dearly departed were taken  control 

To avoid our heart breaking in two 

 

What if each gust of wind is your head being kissed 

By the angels of love who will always be missed 

When you sink to the bottom you're topping their list

Paving paths you can safely walk through 

 

What if when at it's darkest you're wearing a cloak 

Llike the white bit surrounding the yellowy yolk

Memories of the good things and last time you spoke 

Rushing up to the front of the queue 

 

What if each ray of sunshine on warming skin

Has been guided by those held or carried within 

They've been knocking so long when you letting them in

Never resting as long as there"s you

      Love how the loved don't go missing in this piece, but that they still hold and give of their nature in our natural world. It's a comforting rhyme.

                Fabulous first stanza. Echoes my own thoughts about stars. I also have a thing about butterflies.

                Beautiful words peto.

                  "What if each of the stars in the sky is a soul

                  Sprinkling dust on the broken who feel less than whole" My grandma always used to say the same.
                  Beautiful poem Peto.
                  "They've been knocking so long when you letting them in

                  Never resting as long as there's you" These lines made my day.

                  • peto

                    I take it from grandma used to say the same that she is now shining down on you
                    Thank you meera

                      These metaphors are incredible!! Job well done! Sorry I was out of town, didn't see this fabulous piece! But anyway, that's an interesting observation that all of the stars in the skies are souls. Just beautiful work, Peto.
