stories in the stars
take light years to reach
I contemplate
their entrenchment
in midnight blue skies
It washes indigo stains
on my soul
to reveal a core
blending with stars
as they would look now
hope ignites
where dawn blends
with fading moonlight

Beautiful ✨

I love the notions that this verse brings : “It washes indigo stains
on my soul
to reveal a core
blending with stars
as they would look now”, beautiful write!

I know I should be commenting on your use of the prompt word, indigo. But for me, the last stanza is breathtaking! In today’s chaotic world, the final stanza breathes for me!
