The Sweetest Melody

To the stars of night

I sing a sweet melody

Poured from the depths

Of my fast beating heart.

Subliminal messages

Of my dreams and prayers

Are hidden from within my psalm.

Do you hear them dear Mother?

This is the first poem I wrote for my Mother, Nancy (Lee) Seeton. I never got to know my mother, as she was murdered when I was just barely a year old, but I have always felt a very strong bond with her and have always felt her presence near me. I have always talked to her. At this time in my life, I'd just look up at the stars and talk to her. I knew she was there somewhere and I didn't know if she could really hear me or not. Years later, I found a star that calls to me with it's bright light, and I feel her in that star. I bond with and communicate with and spend time with her through this star, and I now know that she does communicate back with me through that star. The second poem I wrote for her, "My Shining Star" is about her star and how we interact through the star, and is the first poem submitted in this blog. Please find it and read it. I also go into more detail about how I know she communicates with me through this star, and in other ways, in the note below the poem.
