Shiny Stars

Shiny stars all around
rolling off my fingertips
and pressing 'gainst my nose

Shiny stars in pockets mine
jingling just like coins

Shiny stars of hope and joy
tethered moonbeams bobble

Shiny stars like elephants
zip to here-and zip to there
...not hobble.

Shiny stars fill our dreams
not crusted over, wind swept creeping
memories past adorned with sorrow--
but with gleeful promises kept;
sweet promise of
tomorrow.
