Eternal Stars Poem by Gerry Legister

Eternal stars falling from the sky,
Angels took wings and began to fly,
Beautiful nocturnal fire burning bright
Hold your smile in dewy mooring sunlight.

Make the heavens a prelude to paradise,
You were the first kindling heart to realize,
How the firmament reflected our wishes
The mirror that no distance ever separates.

Even on the verge of perpetual death
We can measure distance in a single breath,
Soaking up the warmth of your embrace
Destiny plant our footing in space.

Bring a taste of desire from countless stars.
Unfulfilled days became a thousand years,
With the epochs of time smitten in our eyes.
Long after the dwindling planet dissolves.

The temporal in our mind is a radiant dream,
A moment of darkness here and in between
When we die; our soul will dance high in the sky,
Spirits free listening to marvelous lullaby.
