Introduction: Tales from the Trail, is an occasional fictional musing inspired by the nearby trail. A place where I meet and make imaginary friends who are featured in the blog.  

Marilyn's Musings passed the six month fledging mark. I've been publishing my essays, posing questions, sharing music recommendations, and odds and ends since November 2023. Thanks for following the posts and my plan is to "Keep On." 

This weekend's musing was delayed because I was summer-izing my house vs. winterizing, which I'll summarize for you next week. Why isn't summerizing isn't in Merriam-Webster's dictionary?  

Stumbling upon a Star 

Golden star, shinny and bright, 

falling from afar one dark night. 

Golden star, lost and alone, 

grounded here without a home.

Let's be friends, what do you say? 

Twinkle each day and night away. 

Golden star, speed and soar  high, 

fly back to your starry sky. 

My how you glow oh golden star, 

gaze upward and there you are!
