Beyond The Nearest Star

Kurt Philip Behm

Who speaks to you sincerely,

who calls your name out loud

 

Who plates your image clearly,

and picks you from the crowd

 

Who tends your words forespoken,

as you wander near and far

 

Who waits for you rewoken,

—just beyond the nearest star

  • Fay Slimm.

    Romance oozes from these short lines and the call to re-waken to love has such appeal - I love the title 's repeat as a finalé - - great read/

      Yes, who does these awesome things? Someone who loves you dearly and waits for you. You have such a way with words.
