Send us to the moon and then to the stars and let us be a close-up stargazer among the stars.
Let us feel the ethereal realms in wondrous serene embrace.
Great write and well penned.
Cheerio, Rithcie. :)) Hugs.

    I am delighted you enjoyed this one, it was an interesting one to write. Now you better look up 'Nineteen sixty two'. I don't think you read it yet. Hope you are having a great day, you are up early. I just had dinner, are you having your morning coffee or tea? :-) Carolyn

    Hi Carolyn,

    I have reviewed the 1962, smiles. And it must have been received by you now. Wondering why it hadn't. My review was this one:

    "Tune our Hearts"

    "This is a truly beautiful poem. In just 4 lines with the syllable count of 1-9-6-2, your write had captured our thoughts of the beautiful tune played on our melodious heart strings to sing our praise to the King.
    Our songs of praise for Him are truly brilliant and great in hymns.
    Cheerio, lots of love and hugs, Ritchie. :))

    P.S. You certainly can write the 1962 very well. Smiles."

    Smiles, Ritchie. :))))

    That isn't the one, the first one was actually titled 'nineteen sixty two'. Then I wrote 'Tune our hearts'. Yes I got this review and thought it was your, as usual, wonderful response. Love, Carolyn

    Ok. I will take a look later, smiles.
    Cheerio, Ritchie. :))

Your poem is in excellent ABC Poem form
good alliteration in beyond belief
I like your strong verb choices like catapult and embrace that add to the power and emotion of the poem

We would all love to be catapulted to the stars. We just need to find that somebody in our lives who inspires us or even drives us on in our quest to be the best that we possibly can for them.

Thank you for this poem. I think that God gave us stars to help soothe our souls. Your well written words managed to bring me some peace.

A great entry. The opening verb hooked my attention. I love the image of ethereal realms. Only there can we forget our sorrows and become calm within. Nice assonance with increase and belief and disconsolate hour.
