      stand in your own light

      Stand in your own light—even when the lamps go out.   Carry your silence like a lantern,not as a burden,but as a map.   The world will tell youto wait for rescue,to lean on borrowed fire.Smile, and keep walking.   Every step you takeis a...

        Excellent writing.

        • Thank you, Peter. Now full marks are a scary thing. But that’s just me. You are most appreciated🙏🕊️

      • A gentle and enduring Taoist quality flows through each and every word here. I can hear the bells of truth fervently ringing.
        Having read this inspiring write, my own inner light is brighter and stronger. Thank you for the share!

      • “Every step you take
        is a small rebellion.
        Every breath you claim
        is proof you are enough.”

        I can’t even tell you how much I needed to read this. And that right there…I read 5 times. Brilliant piece! Welcome to the Stars!

        • Thanks for the kind welcome, dear Willow. Glad to have shared something for others. 🙏🕊️

      • Will be posting up more as I get into the swing of things here. Thank you kindly. 🕊️🙏

      • Wise words left by a person who knows how and what to be: instinct versus chance OR
        experience that’s lingered and fast becoming a good friend?!

        • Perhaps being a friend to self is quite a good thing and sets us up for being a good friend to others as well. Thank you kindly. 🕊️🙏

      • Very encouraging words and writing… I pray we live by them… I wish life was as simple as… welcome to Starsrite

        • That is a prayer of mine as well! Thank you so much, as well, for the kind welcome, Sam. 🙏🕊️

      Lost Poem #1

      Small town Texas nights,Tiny me atop my roof,an asphalt-shingled perch  to spy upon the stars --There were so many then.Now I would need a ladder  halfway to the heavens  to see such finery  draped across our plains.A metaphor for...

      • I was way too chicken to get on top of any roof. lol
        But I would lay on a trampoline at night which was so cool.
        Mostly because it felt like I was floating while gazing at the sky. Night or day. Didn’t matter.
        A nice escape – good for adults and kids.
        We all need them to stop thinking about reality sometimes.

      • Oh, I understand. Sometimes a kid’s just gotta do what a kid’s gonna do. And it’s always worth it — especially when you look back at it from the distant now, and realize how much more we had then. I have to think I knew it then, or I wouldn’t have done it. The only way it could last was in my memory.

      • Live in a building where they have locked the roof. But I would gaze out the window and dream. Lived on the top floor.

        • What a shame. I suggest you move to someplace with a roof. Or maybe just find a friend with a roof. Of course, you can always go to the country and find a hill with a good view of the sky. Or vacation in New Mexico or Utah, or some similar “Outside.”

      • hello dearest poet I feel the plight of humanity in and on my own body…we are not all so blind and unfeeling… great write ❤️

        • Thanks for the nice comment, but I’m uncertain of just how you “feel the plight of humanity on your body.” Tattoos? Scars? Burns? Something else? I’m insanely curious.

          • hello yes I have constant internal torure about the plight of humanity I cry when I see the homelss I pray God makes it warner for them and if they need drugs to give it to them…I feel their pain I’m schizophrenic and have been homeless in the past…we are all connected we all feel the despair some are just better at blocking it out…

      • That’s very interesting — and scary. It must be very difficult to live this way. I wish you peace and thank you for sharing.

      • You write the truth.
        Are we as a species , evolving or devolving.
        Keep up the good work as you say lots with very few words.🙏

      • Thank you, M. It’s funny, but I think of that time often, up on that roof. I can still feel the scratchiness of those asphalt shingles and smell the honeysuckle wafting up from our back yard. Wondrous times, wondrous nights.

      • Wow! From the roof, gazing at stars and beauty, to gazing at minds and blackness. I love it. I am still gathering material to my “roof” poem. I enjoyed reading your roof poem. Well done, FD “)
