And who has swept the stars away
not one remains in sight?
Too eager with their bristle brush
they’ve cleansed the sky at night.
So all those clustered gems I love
which give me peace of mind,
are huddled in an unknown place
that torchlight can not find.
A canvas stretches end to end
devoid of silver light,
the moon has left those sparklers gone
will no one hear my plight?
If I should ask or make a wish
or plead for compromise,
will someone spare two tiny stars
and place them in my eyes?

the words splendid & divine spring to mind, but even they don't do your latest justice .. and do you know why? because there aint any, justice that is .. with much respect .. Me 🙂
Thank you Neville for such a warm review. Maybe I should post my latest instead of back tracking? I think I might. Good idea 🙂
