The Morning Star

A poem exploring the mind of author/poet Nate Spears.

The Morning Star

By Nate Spears

                               

 

In the deepest depth of my life

I’m never blind; sometimes I’m challenged by whatever

Sometimes: I’m defeated by my grind

 Sometimes: I’m close to my last day

But: I’m far from the last fight of my life

And far from the last night of sleep deprived

 

The actions of the man

Creates the path of his life

The absence of the man

Restrains his rights in life

The mentality of the man

Saves the days he's granted on earth

The intent of the man

Leads him in the ways of the earth

 

Feel my rose as it fades

Feel my pedals bring new life

As I sprout beyond the stars

Creating my new route in life

After the day

After the nights

What comes is darkness

Then the arrival of the morning star to life.
