Handful of Stars #poetry #photography

Beautifully hung

you reach grasping for stars

falling on your face

when your balance is displaced

you try, you must again

striving for the lover’s kiss

when you open your eyes

its not her face you see

but the grains of sand

you hold in your hand

why are dreams so hard to hold

they may lighten the soul

but for all that they promise

they will no more light on your finger

than the monarch in flight

diligently train your sight

celestial up you go

tumbling over and over again

to what is just out of reach

for what surprise is a handful of daisies?

The theme today for wordpress Daily Post is Surprise. What would be the greatest surprise if it appeared in your hands?

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing and publishing in multiple genres (including education) in E. African for E. Africa. As a writer, it is a thrill to write for children (on all continents) who want to learn. I've been part of the blogging community for more than 13 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community. I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers. There are many facets to this moon - my joy is in meeting you! View all posts by moondustwriter

Dreaming can lead to many falls that’s true….but without the dreams one just stands still and never moves forward.

Undeniably consider that that you said. Your favourite reason seemed to be at the
web the easiest factor to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely
get annoyed whilst people consider concerns that they
plainly do not understand about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and outlined out the entire thing without
having side effect , folks could take a signal.

Will probably be again to get more. Thank
you
