    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...

      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!

    • 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. 🙏🕊️

    Love Sonnet XLVIII

    Love Sonnet XLVIII   Yaara, I must ask, what are your intentions, your promises? Will you give my heart peace, or will you bring me rain? Will you find me in these shadows, in the dark   places where I roam? It is here I...

    • Neruda would’ve invited you over for a beer on the veranda, and talk words with you. What an afternoon that woulda been, huh. You’d fit right in.

    Love Sonnet LXVI

    Love Sonnet LXVI   When I was younger, life seemed easier, filled with sun light adventures of us holding hands while walking through   a forest of Aspen and green. But, as I grew older, a Winter wind blew in my face, no mater which way I turned.   Then I...

    • You just nailed the seasons here Curt .. well you did, all bar Summer .. Now I’m betting you are going to have one hell of a time between the coming of Spring & Autumn .. Write on brother .. Neville

      • Well Neville, I met her in Autumn, married her in Winter, and we divorced in Spring…. I guess Summer was the time of contentment!? Thanks Neville, I appreciate your comment.

    • Love love this one… it’s one of those that flows sweetly from the heart into ours, just how love should flows. “welcome the chaos of your smile” how gorgeous this line is… expressing the bittersweet mess love can make us feel, it will stick in my head along other lines too, oh perfect poetry of love ✨💖💕 I like the song too, it fits the emotional ambiance. Thank You🤍

      • Hi Light. Can’t go wrong with the Moody Blues. Their music is poetry. That line came to me as I was thinking about the woman who became my true love. She left me for another, for a more “normal” life, but I still think about her.

        Thanks Light, I appreciate your comments and visits muchly.

        • Hi and Good Evening ✨

          Sorry to hear about that, but let’s us say even sadness can be an inspiration and birth good poetry 😊

          Wishing You Happy Days 🎈

    • Ms. Mary, within a smile, worlds collide, kaleidoscopes swirl colors, and hearts beat faster into a blush. In other words, CHAOS!!! Who knows what would, or could have happened had those letters been sent, or words spoken? Perhaps a wonderful chaos?

      Thank you, Mary. I always look forward to your visits and words.

    • Hi, Redzone! I welcome you to “BACK TO POETRY BASICS” and would like to invite you to join-in on our Sonnet lesson (below). It’s easy: just read and follow along. I look forward to sharing with you. ⁓ Richard🖌

      • Hi Richard,

        • oops didn’t mean to send that too short of a reply. I read your paper? instructions about the nature of and what constitutes a formally written English Sonnet. I am afraid I have only ever attempted one. If I can find it I will post in the “Back To Poetry Basics” group. This group was mented to me by Valuptas Whispers Unholy. and then I saw Fia’s…Read More

          • C’mon, Curt, join-in. There’s nothing like taking advantage of an opportunity when it present itself, and it’s FREE! With your creative talents, it would be most thrilling to read your version of a proper Sonnet, and then you’ll know how from then on. : )
