The Stars Of Heaven Poem by Casey Jarrell

Oh,
Is it sadness, is it regret,
or could it be joy?

Oh, feelings are now
overflowing in
my burning chest.

The thin voice is reporting on
the understanding of love in those eyes.

I gaze up at the large sky so often, I've grown used to this strength...
From here, I walk on.

Oh,
Over time, all of this will be
Enveloped in love.

Gently, time piles up
That strong light from one hundred years ago.

At first, a chest is an open, empty space.
Next and never, those bonds return home.

Those days passed by faintly
The world's pain comes from kindness...


I gaze up at the lonely sky so often, I've grown used to its strength...
Once more, I think.

At first, a chest as an open, empty space.
Next and never, those bonds return home.

From here, I walk on.
