Poems Under Summer Stars

Summer is the best time of the entire year to spend the evenings outside. It's the only time where after the sun leaves, you still feel its warm breath on your skin long afterwards.

The best summer nights are the ones where there is not a single cloud in the sky, and you can see the stars gazing down at you, their reflection mirrored in your eyes or the eyes of someone you love.

How beautiful it is to be blessed with light even in the darkest of nights.

''Though my soul may set in darkness,

It will rise in perfect light;

I have loved the stars too fondly,

To be fearful of the night.''

-Sarah Williams

''Meet me at midnight

In the forest of my dreams.

We'll make a fire, and count the stars

That shimmer above the trees.''

-Christy Ann Martine

''You are my sun, my moon, and all of my stars.''

- E.E. Cummings

''At midnight, in the month of June,

I stand beneath the mystic moon.''

-Edgar Allen Poe

''Stars, I have seen them fall,

But when they drop and die

No star is lost at all

From all the star-sown sky.

The toil of all that be

Helps not the primal fault;

It rains into the sea,

And still the sea is salt.''

-A.E. Houseman

The best poems are the ones that shed light onto pain, that have a depth as deep as the night sky. The ones that give someone a glimmer of hope amidst heartbreak and pain.

One star in the sky, gives more light than a sky that lacks any.

Poetry is the one star for the one soul, that desperately needs a glimmer of light.

''Yet sometimes one trembling star comes in the clear sky and makes me think the world is beautiful.

-Virginia Woolf

''We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.''

-Oscar Wilde

''How will the stardust in you shine, if you fear the darkness your whole life?''

-Imann Poetry
