 Quadrille - Coax


Who coaxed the stars from my night sky

And left a blanket of charcoal cloud

Were not i

The one who sang aloud


Soca songs for party days

To liven mood swings oft

And psalms fit for church ways

Seemingly not enough. 


My stars!

    I can’t resist a star quadrille, Gillena, and this one is lovely.

    Gillena if the soca music doesn't bring them back, I don't know what will. I love the idea of having a 100 day celebration!

    Beautifully expressed! (And yes, sometimes there is really nothing we can do – except write.)

    That dark blanket of clouds stealing the stars is so dark... but they will come back for you

    Gillena, that jump from soca to psalms really hits me — like trying everything you can and still feeling the stars dim.

    Much love,
