When Our Stars Fell From The Sky
And Found A Way To Survive
The waves rush in a roar
crashing like the slam of the door
Leaving my heart scattered all over
like the sands on the shore
The stars that fell from our sky
now swim in the tides that pass by
As starfish with something to hide
gathered to witness our love as it dies
The sun watches in horror
as the tides start to turn
The rain clouds all pour
and the sea starts to churn
The loss of forever
beginning to burn
As the weather surrenders
knowing we've lost what we learned
Once bright in the sky
shining our love in the night
Now caught up in the tide
as new stars in rewrite

One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!

In a world of the sea, there exists power and promise in this poem. The words that personify the sun particularly glow. The waters rushing and the starfish paint a portrait of a day full of splendor. I will share. S.S.
This is a thought provoking poem of how one sees love and maybe respect.
