Stargazer

A child, I look up into the dark, black sky
and I see stars, great big balls of flame
and wonder why, Why can't I traverse that sky?
Why not I?

Now I no longer peer into the great unknown,
too much confort here within my zone,
I fumble and plod across the earth, kicking dust
and still wondering, if I dare to look above,
what will become of my dreams, will they splinter and shatter upon,
the very reality that has become, my life, my circumstance,
my being, my fibre, my soul...

I shall no longer be afraid to stare upon the nightly dazzling glare,
of those exquisite samples of creation, burning bright without ambition,
yet energised explosions thrown into the cosmos, caution to the solar winds is thrown,
and here I stand upon this earth staring back up into the unknown.

SST: very nice lines..."caution to the solar winds is thrown," - cool!

Thanks very much. If I gave it time, I'd rewrite a load of it throwing in more words like abyss and such, but I respect things in their raw form sometimes. Something makes it special to me. I write it as it comes out with pretty little editing and in continuous flow.

I may look into lesrning more about poetry and educate myself in the different styles. I often wonder why this talent (talent as in interst not that I'm good) wasn't picked up at school and nurtured?

I hope that just by commenting on you being inspiration for it would be reward enough pet.laugh

This is a lovely poem, if the talent had been picked up at school probably would not be as good as it is now. A song I remember "we dont need no educastion" comes to mind as school did not create creative minds just taught basics? Lovely as it ishandshake Welcome aboard

Oh I should LOVE to be patted on the head by Heidi, I could fantasise I was one of his dogs.
Uuum I don't think the spotting of potential poets is on the national curriculum, SST. Should be of course.
