For dVerse Poets Pub where Dora is our hostess today.

“My God, It’s Full of Stars”

Where I Belong

When daylight loosens
its busy hands from the world,

I step outside.

The stars already know my name.

The darker the night,
the happier my heart becomes.
No streetlights,
only the Moon,
the planets,
and countless stars
painting stories across the sky.

Long before I learned astrology,
I learned wonder.

I found it in Orion's steady watch,
in the wandering planets,
in every meteor that whispered, "Keep looking up."

People search for the meaning of life.

I search the night sky.

And somehow, beneath the endless heavens of Fuerteventura,

I have never felt so wonderfully

at home.
The last aboriginal kings are Guize (Ruler of the North of the Island) and Ayoze ( the South)

    That opening line’s metaphor is a stunner, Maggie, and I like “Orion’s steady watch” which enlarges on the personal connection of “the stars already know my name.” The “endless heavens” being a home indeed — a serene security and hope — I love the way you convey these sentiments through your lovely phrasings. 💜
