Shower jets flow wash away strains

All of the day’s hurt — massage out the pain

Pain of shoulders tight and aching

Pain of heartache’s dregs — hope for a new day

Day of wonder, of blooming sunshine

Day of throbbing eyestrain, painful but small

Small moments of bliss, candy-bars in the hall

Small moments to grow, hands to hold

Hold on as thoughts explode into possibility

Hold on as inspiration magnifies

Magnifies with cares and problem’s

Magnifies as thoughts, creativity flying alive

Alive and refined enough to discover solutions

Alive enough to breath success a moment

Moments to sit in the park, nibble rocky-road

Moments to lay in the grass, to nap

Nap through arduous meetings

Nap even though your brain’s full

Full of problems you can’t solve but must

Full of problems that require reflection

Reflection of every angle to be precise

Reflection of the best way to precede

Precede home to the shower where hot water helps

Precede to sing high, sing loud harmonies

Harmonies because work’s done

Harmonies because you can sing alone or with everyone

Everyone can drown their sorrows

Everyone can sing their stories

Stories of God, good and bad times, all kinds of culture

Stories hung on melodies, sweet anticipation

Anticipation as everyone‘s voices crescendo

Anticipation as the music decrescendos

Decresecendos into tunes lento

Decresendos reverse, up into fortissimo

Fortissimo because together melodies uplift

Fortissimo because personal tunes aspire

Aspire to break strains of the workday

Aspire to end echos of projects unfinished

Unfinished conversations with others

Unfinished conversations with yourself, tunes —

Tunes with nothing to prove

Tunes so vivid they can heal souls

Souls shattered can still be pieced together

Souls can mend no matter if —

If you’re singing alone or with others strumming melodies

If you’re singing at night to rest after the day

Melodies of music uplift, helps one harmonize in —

Daylight before, soft melodies pale into sleep

Poem: Alouettes – “Star: Never Flicker Out” #amwriting #poetry

———

My prayer for you is, 

That you’re not a wisp, 

Never a star flickering out.

That you shine boldly,

For what the years hold, 

Pray you glimmer, bright, hot. 

——–

Some lights end shortly, 

May yours burn forte.

Be that diamond in the sky, 

A jewel, valued highly.

Live your life, defy–

Limits, the odds; inspire.

——

Though sickness choke breath, 

Though time steal your health.

Transform; the light, dazzling.

Take hold of our hands, 

While we beg; understand, 

Why our star’s unraveling.

——-

Surgery takes out, 

Kills what darkness brought.

Shine on dear star; glow brave.

Save your light for strength.

Heal true at all lengths.

You’ll luminate soon; light saves.

—-

Shadows turn your gleam, 

Black hole eats light’s beam.

The struggle for brilliance, pain.

You’ve got this dollie, 

God won’t let you stall.

Shooting star bright you’ll remain.

——

In all God’s glory, 

He holds your story.

A star precious, with design.

You show fortitude, 

A glib attitude.

Darling star falling, refined.

——

You’ve never been a wisp,

Effusive woman missed.

Pretty blond star, beauteous.

Vibrance, cheer; your gift,

Each visit uplift.

Never burn out, star bloom.

——

Live for millenias, 

Prosper, wise light; will —

Vivre; bold star falling.

Never flicker out, 

Your battle cries shout.

Dear star blaze; for life brawling.
