Poetic Dose: Stars / Take Me Back

#365daysofpoetry Days 20 and 21

 Stars

My thoughts number as the stars

Raing through the universe of my mind;

I close my eyes and hope for silence

Wishing to spill them all amongst the stars;

And if I do, I wonder,

Will they find their way home to you?

(Will I finally rest in Sleep's embrace?)

Take Me Back

Take me back to days ...

Of laughter and mischief; 

Of long idle days with friends;

Of daydreaming and just being;

Of tangible curiosity and surprises;

Of learning from endless possibilities;

Of running carefree, noses runny;

Of salty sweet mingled sweat;

Of the sadness of dusk

And the joy of tomorrow.

Take me back today ...
