Starlight on Rain
In the deep times, in the night times,
I remember you.
Under the stars, however so far,
I reflect on you.
Quietly, I softly tread to your house in my mind.
I remember an aching heart.
Never speaking, always feeling, a lifetime teaching,
I remember a breaking heart.
A smile through the tears, living worst fears,
I reflect through those times.
Away in the night, in quiet soul's light,
Your memory it glows.
Days of my youth, love is a truth,
What has become of you?
One that I loved, in quiet, a riot,
With the Angels you must sing.
Ringing of truth, warmth like the sun, crystalized in my mind,
I remember you.
Gone, gone, the loving never, ever done,
Like starlight on rain, how you sparkle and shine, jewel of my life and heart.
Remembrance is yours.

Dedicated to those who hold a place in my heart wherever they might be on Earth or in Heaven. You hold places of honor unknown. Somewhere, somehow, our souls are touching, even though it can't be seen, and there is a beauty in that far beyond any words.

| I know I already told you how much I like this poem but I thought I'd just write it in here too so you've got it for all time. What a beautiful poem Dan. I absolutely love the daytime and sunshine, but nights are a really special time. I love sitting under the stars and thinking about all my friends, near and far. | |||

| Hi It occurred to me that as poets we tend to be somewhat self-centered at times and thereby miss a lot of good things that others have to offer. I, therefore, have undertaken to read and comment on all the poems posted on the 50 most veiwed and 50 most recent catagories. I can find some good in the poorest of poetry and something to critisize in the best of poetry. The project may take some time but the fact that you are reading this should indicate that I've read this piece and enjoyed, at least, some if not all of what you ‘ve written. I'll leave the judging to the experts. It.s enough for me to know the you cared enough to share your work with us all. I would also encourage you all to share your thoughts with me and all the others that have contributed to this website. Just remember: A SONG IS NOT A SONG ‘TIL YOU SING IT A BELL IS NOT A BELL ‘TIL YOU RING IT LOVE IS NOT PUT IN YOUR HEART TO STAY LOVE IS NOT LOVE ‘TIL YOU GIVE IT AWAY Claud | |||

| This one is particularly special....I understand and relate, as there are certain people who will always have a special place in my heart also - they will never be forgotten but remembered with a kindness and fondness of those who once shared my life. Though I have moved on, and my life has changed, these people are special as they help mould who you are today....A very special poem, Daniel. I really enjoyed it. | |||
