I loved this as I truly love the stars. It speaks of the God who made them and us all. The book of Job is the oldest book of the Bible, and speaks of these wonders.
Sending you my best today for this marvelous poem,

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
Worth another six stars, my friend. The first poem was fun and tickled the fancy, but this stirs the soul. The stars are a great mystery, and man's nightly companion. But, not the answer to man's past, present or future.
Thanks for sharing,
Rhonda

That is a very astute observation. The stars do not interact with man directly, but they do assist man in many ways. Being a navigational tool. In much the same way, trees do not speak to man, but they provide shade, paper products, heat, one was even used as a tool of execution in the Master's death. Many things around us do not interact with us directly, but they are essential to our survival. Excellent write my dear brother.

Comment from BethShelby
I really enjoyed reading this poem about the stars. I love it when they show up crisply in the night sky. People have been intrigued by the stars as long as we have lived on his earth and tried to see meaning in them. I just see them as a way to realize how small we are when compared to the vastness of the unverse. The fact that the God who created them knows us down to the number of hairs of head tells us of his greatness and majesty.

Comment from ESOSTINE
Your poem captured the splendour of the nightly stars up in the sky, which presence means different things to different people. While some see them them as conveying the beauty and wonders of God the creator, some others think it could reveal the past and predict the future. I found the accompanying image very helpful. Well done, dear Roy.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork
and presentation, Roy.
-Notes are appreciated.
-Effective imagery and rhyme
that show different as aspects of the stars.
-Good use of personification with
"jewelled cloak" and "night's robe."
-I like the transition with the
question in verse 3 as you wonder
what their "purpose and plan" is
and why there doesn't seem to
be an answer.
-A good concluding verse, especially
with the last phrase, " they still remain
enigma's hidden quirk."
-I enjoyed your poem; have a great day.

Comment from Sherry Asbury
This assuages some of my fears, which are not founded yet. I think of times when I have stargazed and seen the wonder of God's handiwork...He is a wondrous God and He is in me and you and so many others. This is a superb poem and has brought a bit of peace!

I so much enjoyed this "inspired' poem and the beautiful artwork you chose to go with it. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. It is obvious that you are open to spiritual inspiration, a reminder that we all should be.
