There you are
all shiny and proud
sitting on the point of that star
There you are
a humble beacon, no shroud
You will never fall down
into the vast void
The look on your face is overjoyed
You’ve gotten far
There you are
dangling your legs
without a care in the world
even though you are sitting on the point of that
bright star
you are secure
you’ve gotten far
not a match for anyone
They couldn’t shoot you if they tried
You are bulletproof
and your star is more than bright
There you are
the quintessence of happiness
Is this luck and chance you think
You wish it would last forever
Fragments of pleasure
continually
raining down like star beams
There you are
Stay there if you can

To me Highhat this poem tells of fresh new beginnings, it took me a couple of times of reading to see how it was meant to be read, when read properly it flows and is quite magical and atmospheric. x

Hi Pia, It's so good to beable to hold on to dreams, they are so important. I am feeling quite sad at the moment, so reading this cheered me up and put me back on track. Thankyou.

Jenny I am really glad that I could brighten your day. Fantastic. This is only thought of in the positive tense. This is no dream - this is my life- with a large amount of hope that it will continue. I hope the happy mood will continue for you pia ;)

Hi Pia, Thankyou so much for your reply. I hope that the positive feelings that you have continue. By the way, I got my walk in the forest, it was great. Jenny.

I walked a while today and the leaves were flying everywhere- marvelous- I like the wind-blows all the cobwebs in your head away. ;)pia

Yes I totally agree. It was quite funny at one point, because me and my partner wanted a wee, obviously being in the forest you have to be discreet, but this couple kept following us, they had two dogs that seemed to keep up with us, we eventually lost them, but every time I kept wandering off to somewhere private, the dogs would come sniffing around. I can laugh about it now, but at the time I was getting desperate. Steve my partner was alright ofcourse being a man, if you no what I mean. It's been pretty rough today, apart from late afternoon, when it cleared up and the sun came out, so glad we went yesterday. Jenny.

Funny about the dogs following you. Yeah it's much easier being a male in such situations. Glad you had good weather yesterday and this afternoon. Gloomy weather affects the spirit. pia ;)

We have this place near us, called Weston Birt Arboretum, it's absolutely beautiful at this time of the year. The colours of the trees are amazing. There is one part that is dedicated just to Oak Trees, they are my favourite, I seem to have an affinity with them. Well I think that's about all for tonight. Goodnight Pia. Jenny.

Oak trees grow very old and they have a solid wood used for furniture etc they used to build ships with oaktree. I like oak trees too. I planted 2 of them when I had a garden. I nutured them from the acorn until they were about 2m high- then I moved away. The new tenants dug the trees up- made me sad- cheers Jenny pia ;)

Pia am so glad it not just a dream! Ride on a motorbike, great for blowing out mind-cobwebs ;) ! Well it is so funny Jenny, like camping. I like oaks too, I made a seahorse once, so ancient trees and I like history. I got a short wander out of myself too this morning, with pooch to drag me along, road covered in bright red leaves here!

Yes Kahdai the leaves are blowing around all over the place. It's nice but the autumn gales are too windy to my liking! Nice you have a dog to take you for a walk ;) pia ;)

Hi Pia, that must have been awful, to have grown and tended to that Oak Tree, then for those tenents to come along and dig it up, mind you they can get really big. We call our house Oakly Villa, had a sign made and put on the wall outside. Jenny.

What a lovely name for your house Jenny Yes I know some oak trees, the old ones are huge. I saw one that was 400 years old. I like the way the branches are all twisted and crooked and the leaves make a dense foliage. They are good climbing trees as well if you can reach the first branch ;D have a lovely day pia ;)

Thanks Pia, and you. Jenny.

Because of the absence of punctuation I really struggled with this at first, but it was well worth the perseverance. Some wonderful images and am particularly fond of the way you have ended it. Well done Pia. :-)
