Starless Skies

in the absence of stars i am reminded of my aloneness as i stand on the edge of my dreams it's in the silence of these darkest nights that i hear your whispers falling softly around me i curl myself within the comfort found within thoughts as i drift to sleep once more (trying to get my muse off the virus... with better thoughts)

Virus, virus, virus is on the media, in our minds, on poetry soup, around the globe, going to play scrabble with Hubby to take our minds of this monster. Your poem is a great way to start our game, definitely more relaxed! Hugs and love Sandy - a wonderful write. Jennifer.

- We think about the virus 24 hours a day ... we can't avoid it, Sandra - Beautifully written with a lonely feeling - I hope you don't drive the school bus now ... too many people carrying the infection ... even if they don't know it ... be careful, my friend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Beautiful, simply beautiful. This is a true Sandy poem which I have missed lately. Wonderfully written thoughts and dreams to take us into an evening of restful peace.
