214- Father Stardust

 *Father : Stardust*

Review 

Excellent ❤️

Beautifully portrayed a deeply touching expression of grief, love, and enduring connection. The central metaphor of the universe as a “magazine” providing updates on departed parents is incredibly creative and offers a unique perspective on maintaining a bond beyond life. The tears as “stardust” and a “reward” for connecting with loved ones is particularly poignant and beautiful. ❤️

Keep writing 

Keep exploring your unique voice❤️

Moon is near though appears far

Sun is my favourite star 

Both in moon and sun I see my parents face 

Their presence in universe helps me overcome the sad phase 

Just as we get magazine on movie stars names star dust 

I hope universe also releases a daily magazine first 

It would contain colorful pages on what my parents are doing each day 

And a column on point of view they convey

There is also a postal address written in the last page of star dust 

And the sitting area is piled with my letters outburst 

They have all the time to read them through and respond 

And one by one they would post article in the magazine which I am very fond 

The star dust also includes a column for their annual leaves pace 

Each of the soul put forth which home they would next grace 

It's decided on our mental state of we are sad or delighted 

They don't come uninvited 

When they come they definitely leave a imprint that last

And upon return they will write down their experience in star dust

My prayers are not confined to closed walls of home 

They are in universe and their presence never makes me feel alone 

At times when I weep 

They caress me over my sleep 

All this when I mention on letter 

God ensures it's a part of the newsletter 

The magazine is two sided and reading it is fun 

I can although access them it needs password to open

Password of honesty, faith and love and honest wishes 

My prayers God do addresses

Special mention of the newsletter gets a price to experience dust of the star 

When I experience tears when remembering parents it means my thoughts reach them so far 

And it's a symbol of my award

Tears through stars dust as reward

Nothing to be worried when I shed tear

It means my dear ones are near by - nothing to fear!!!
