By Starlight How proud stands the willow in silhouette of twilight skies. The willow never weeps alone, tears of joy stream down cheeks at the footbridge where she touched the water, where Moonbeams dance In the land beneath falling stars, In the land of purple thunder as Lightning strikes in an interlude to a Fleeting rainstorm revealing Hidden beauty in moon glow. O, how heavenly! A Rendezvous, echoing of ethereal eyes In a magical stairway to the stars... Whisper me a song, my love, a soul song. She dreams of sentient stars forged by fire In universal streams of light as she Gazes wistfully heaven bound. 7-19-19 *Names of the poets whose titles are incorporated into my poem: Proud Stands the Willow by CayCay Jennings Silhouette by Paul Callus The Willow Never Weeps Alone by Sandra Adams At the Footbridge by Jan Allison She Touched the Water by Richard Lamoureux Moon Beams Dance by Gershon Wolf In the Land Beneath Falling Stars by Robert Lindley The Land of Purple Thunder by Mike Gentile Lightning Strikes by Kim Rodrigues Fleeting Rainstorm by Vijay Pandit Hidden Beauty By John Fleming In Moon Glow by Andrea Dietrich O, how heavenly by Dear Heart A Rendezvous by Kurt Ravidas Echoing of Ethereal Eyes by Winged Warrior Stairway to the Stars by Carolyn Devonshire Whisper Me a Song, My Love by Victor Buhagiar Soul Song by Greg Barden Forged by Fire by Eve Roper Streams of Light by Caren Krutsinger 20 titles from 20 friends Poetry Contest ~Second Place~ Sponsored by: Richard Lamoureux
