the stars remain

Contributed by iodinelove on Wednesday, 15th December 2004 @ 09:03:04 PM in AEST
Topic: oops

Sometimes when I look up
very few times when the stars parade
across the sky
lightning and fire
I forget that I am there

In its great timelessness
the world begins to show its wear
even the mountains in their great green beards
grow weary
hesitant and feared
(and the ocean's passionate fury
sightless and bound to the stars
dwindles in unborn flame)

The night is still
I can smell the sweet sea
pouring all around me
(and all the stars are seen)
sodden light splits the sky
falling and unseen

Rayn kisses me
weeps onto me
her pain brings my tears
(yet the stars remain!)

Always they are our guide
always when in darkness
we fail to see
stumble and crawl
when only shadow
slithers on our face
hissing fear
no dreams or hopes
are lurking near
Look forward
into brilliant night sky
into the stars that rein
not above, nor below
(In you the stars remain!)

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
