Earth And Me

  

Many clear nights I look into the

Midnight sky

And often wonder why…

With a million stars out there

Why does the planet ever

Have to be dark?

 

I couldn’t understand my

Own fascination with this thought

Then I came to realize…

 

       Earth is so a lot like me

              In this regard.

Just a small revalation

A simple yet complex revelation. It is through the darkness that we learn to appreciate even the smallest light. When you focus on that light it can brighten your life. I believe that darker side is called the human condition. It is common to all but we must choose whether to let it control us or to let the light permeate even it. Thanks for sharing.

Aye, I hear ya. Self-revelation sometimes sucks, but is necessary for personal growth. This piece is a bit different from you. I like how it just ended....leaving the reader kinda hanging. Thinking....Thanks for sharing Dale. :)

I like my dark side ; )

[Winter McPherson]

Yes, but without the dark we would never see the beautiful stars nor the moon......so the darkness shows us the beauty of our souls! This was thought provoking....

Sometimes simple things makes us realize a little bit apart of ourselves.
Nice write RR:). AD

This poem can be seen as simple or complex depending on your perspective. I think we all struggle with the dark times in our lives. It can be a difficult period for us but it can also be inspiring. You wrote a though provoking poem with ease and grace. Great write.

Beautiful. I happen to think there is nothing more lovely than the night sky. Its like that for a reason and I suppose it also makes us feel the Earth is unique. Many, many stars out there, but the 'Earth' is the special one.
