Daisies

The stars are everywhere tonight,
Above, beneath me and around;
They fill the sky with powdery light
And glimmer from the night-strewn ground;
For where the folded daisies are
In every one I see a star.

And so I know that when I pass
Where no sun's shadow counts the hours
And where the sky was there is grass
And where the stars were there are flowers,
Through the long night in which I lie
Stars will be shining in my sky.

Sarahjanie's picture

This reminds me of the Bible excerpt Daniel 12:3 that ". . . those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the skies. And those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever." It is a lovely poem relating to passing.
