"Will There Be Starlight" is a stunningly beautiful poem about the risks and joys that are involved in the timeless search for love. I particularly like the last stanza and all the apprehension and excitement it conveys. This is definitely one of your best love poems.

"And will she find treasure

or will she find pain

at the end of this rainbow

of moonlight on rain?

"Will There Be Starlight" is one of my personal favorites, so I'm glad you liked it.

It's one of those poems that seemed to write itself, "out of blue nothing" as my friend the Maltese poet Joe Ruggier put it.
