This poem was written for someone I know. The deeper meaning is known only to him.


First Star to the Right



He finds his destiny in blue sky sights
Sitting in a porch swing, on painted desert nights
The sweet smell of wildflower, the memory of her smile
Finds a lonely cowboy waiting all the while

He dreams of a woman, close by his side
Like the presence of an angel, all doubts defied;
Warming him gently, caressing him with care;
Someone to hold onto, a life they might share;

Healing for his heartaches; the comfort of a home
A sweet soulful yearning, like nothing he's ever known
Through oceans of night sky, he searches starlight fields
Wondering what promise his heart cry might yield

He feels her close by him, her spirit never far
Then searches the dark sky for her bright burning star
He gave her directions, first star to the right
Never forgotten, he holds fast to her light

A lovely piece. You paint the picture well, and I call almost see him sitting in his swing...waiting for that day when they will reunite. Nicely done.

Hugs,
