Stay Golden

While she slept in the depths

We all slept amongst the stars

Comets were coming,

We were waiting for ours.

Distantly we saw the curve

Of the lighted, smoking, trail

Quietly, she kept sleeping

Under that cold lit veil.

Awake! the sea cried to her

Can you not see all that's above?

The comets they're coming,

Yet you sleep my love.

Resting still upon her starlit vein

The sea watched, wild, unfurled

Barely contained, it's patience

Yet she slept on, the girl.

Those comets came, leaping

And we all jumped from our perch

Through the air and out of the sky

Together now, we rest next to her.

Ah, romanticism, and yet also very classic. Nice combination.
We miss quite a bit not looking up into the night sky anymore. There's a lot to be said up there...

I like.
There is so many ways to interpret this poem, it 's really daunting to the reasons I've come up with. Thank you for making me think, but that was probably my over active imagination.
