Sprinkled in the night sky
All the lights that never died.
Souls we loved and then called home 
Blinking bright: You are not alone.

On a hunch I grabbed a bunch
To sparkle throughout the day.
Hidden deep in pocket reach
My angel-light stowaways.

If I perceive an inner need
When spark and hope feel frayed.
I jingle loose, a meteoric boost 
Of starlight that never fades.

       ------G Hill

Keep a poem in your pocket
and a picture in your head
and you'll never feel lonely
at night when you're in bed.

       -------Beatrice Schenk De Regniers
