I stood nearer that star than my frailty might allow. To breath in its quintessence; to know that which constitutes its whole. The dark star of shimmering beauty fixed fast my motor, and the flighty is subdued along the elliptic of such a joyful pull.
It’s beautiful, Phil. Delicate, intense and intriguing.

Lovely piece. I also have a request today:
We have 140 contributions to date, and I am trying again to rope in as many contributors to the Poets for Peace challenge (in place until this the end of August). The many voices in response to this have been fantastic, and I’d love you to add yours (again, if applicable) if you can. Feel free to use an existing piece of writing or a new one asking for peace and/or about the troubled times in which we live.
If you are interested, please leave your poem in the comments section of Neha’s blog and it will be added. https://forgottenmeadows.wordpress.com/2016/07/16/calling-all-poetscreative-minds-to-a-grand-collaboration-poets-for-peace/comment-page-5/#comment-19287
Thank you –
Your voice matters.
‘We are so grateful to be part of this community where poets and creative minds from around the world stand together uniting for PEACE! This collaboration is open till August 31st and we hope to see more of you join in!’

Ah, yes. The luminescence of another, a star, even, exerts its gravitational pull. Yet, we should wonder: cold dark star, or Kelvinating Sun?
