Keepers of Wishing Stars

Tonight I sit and wander
through stars~ my perennial
freshening sparkling...of old familiar
constellations – 
                   attention drawn
to some dim and distant
                  wondering of the many wishes
perhaps misplaced
of mine and countless worlds 
of yet searching others....

Tonight I sit and wonder
with a heartfelt sigh, how
many disappointed have
stopped faithful wishing,

stopped their joyful singing – 

how many fewer guitars with warmth 
of feeling no-longer soulfully strumming

for a heart needs romantic reason
if to keep going its tender humming...

so, myself, a poet~ Romance's ink-full benefactor
tonight write for gleaming heavens, a darling new
twinkle-r – penning words dipped in glitter
for a yearning lonely sitter, as if my lyrical 
clusters were enticing jewels for every dreamer's misplaced
coupling diadem....

Surely, some high-flying angel, or goddess will 
take fond notice, for bards long the pet and fancy
of the Keepers of Wishing Stars –
