Stars of Memories


The stars are dancing

desiring to shine in the sky

then the morning comes

disappearing in the twinkling of an eye


In a desire to preserve

the memories of my life

I gathered some stars

in a jar with little light


A collection of adventures

filled with joy and strife

I hid the jar in sand

in the middle of the night


Capturing the essence

of the waves in the sea

the jar floated out

content to just be


Like sand through an hourglass

the stars escaped

returning to the sky

entering Heaven’s gate


Now in the night sky

sharing my memories with others

fitting in the tapestry

of the night’s bright cover
