Lightyears Away
~~~
As you twinkle in the night sky
I know your light travels so fast
But what I behold with my eyes
Is just a glimpse of your past
~~~
The vast distance found in between
The bright you and the earthly me
Ancient history is left to be seen
And all that time can offer to see
~~~
Even now, as you radiant glow
All I can find is your youth
If this time is all I can know
Then how do I find your truth
~~~
Yet, how blessed must I surely be
That you still shine brightly up there
A beautiful sparkle in my night sky
With a light that is so very rare
~~~
It takes years to get here to me
And you are seemingly everlasting
But the one thing I hope to never see
Is the moment of your celestial passing
~~~
commonsensiblyspeaking 
always comforting to look up and see
Thanks Beth!

This is so beautifully written. Love compared to the infinite beauty of the sky. The way you ended it is gorgeous. Brad it said I wasn’t following you. This is happening with many sites I have been following for two years. Anyway you are one of my very favorite poets so I would never stop following you my friend. I am sending my love to you. Hugs to you Brad. Your loving friend Jonikins ❤️🤗❤️🤗
