The Starsinger

Darkness.
Alone on a hill,
She sings.
Songs of beauty, of power,
of light, of hope.
Glory,peace, honor,
love.
She sings.
Above her, glittering pinpoints of light
Spread across the black velvet sky.
The Starsinger
laughs with joy
as her music calls the stars
out of the night
to shine their glory upon the world.

    this poem is so creative. i love the idea, for I was in a choir and it made me feel powerful enough to summon the stars when I sung. I can relate to this. I only wish their was more. I hate having this vision come to and end. Great work.

    Peace

    Short, but pithy and very well done poem, like a prelude, perhaps to a novel??? very fine!!

    What a charming, unique concept. To stand upon a hill and sing to the stars and have them respond to your voice. This is creativity at its best full of imagination. Great job.

    It is a stanza, yes, it's a little long, yes. But I'm a generous person and will let you get away with it.

    This is beautiful, exactly what I'm looking for. THis is different, unique, awesome and powerful. And certainly way different from anything I've read before.

    Love it, great work! Keep writing!
