Earthen PrayerA Poem by BrandonFrom an admirer of astrological earth signs, a confession.Often I've prayed for peace; Of cool earth to envelope me... I've longed for stability and strength - An earthenware man... For every brown-eyed, strong faced, sturdy guy, I've felt myself pulled into quicksand. I've longed for the vitality that every Taurian, Virgo, or Capricornian man maintains. But, I know... As much as I search for this ideal, I'm doomed to remain alone in how I feel. Often, I've prayed for sanctuary - And for brief moments, I felt on the verge... And yet...these clay men I'm so fond of break, In my hands their resolve crumbles, So, I let go of these feelings, Diverting my scorching grasp; I replace these men where I found them, Far from my fiery reach. But from afar, I yearn and plead... I plead with myself, with the goddess above; I plead with dying stars to maybe find love.
