Twinkle

(for when You wish upon a star)

by Dahni

Legs crossed astride the table

Kicked back in the chair on the deck

Cool breeze against the humidity

Eyes pan the form of treetops

Last remaining skimming light

Eyes upward searching

Eyes darting back and forth

Light ladies dancing in night sky

Choreographic splendor

Each a part of the whole

Each a design

Each a meaning

Each a story

Each unique

Each a name

I only know Arcturus timekeeper

I only know Polaris sextant

And remember Twinkle from my nursery

And I wish I knew the names

Each a mystery like the absence of the dance in the north

Twinkle carries me back and away and on and up

And my feet walk the lit way of moonbeams

Breathing deeply this cool breeze

My lungs fill with other breath

Searching as

I search the heavens

To find and name one

Caught away in the moment

Never knowing

Was it eye or the heart seeing

But here we are

Here and There

Stars rising inside us each

To join the dance

Love smiles

In the stars called Twinkle
