Midnight Clear

  

Everything has become clear

As the midnight sky,

Every star is a piece in the puzzle

 

         Each one a glimmer into my

                  Past, present or future.

 

Once upon a time

Hiding in the clouds of uncertainty

And the bright lights of the cities pain and misery

Now they shine brightly for infinity to see

As I look at it in a different light…

From the dark of this field clarity

Has become twenty-twenty vision.

 

Now the stars in my eyes

Guide the way through endless

Space of hopes and dreams.

Some connect to make out

The real me…

For caring eyes to gaze upon and see

There is more to me

Then a simple man with a flashlight.

 

In the end they may not have written my destiny

But with so many ablaze in my minds galaxy

The options are endless as the sky I keep my eyes fixed on.

Very inspirational.. I could really feel a sense of renewal and rebirth through this! Coming out of the darkness and finding a doorway leading to light... most people have this feeling at different times of life. It can be a very powerful and strong sense of finding yourself again.. each time stronger! Keep finding that passion.. and keep writing about it!!! =)

Very refreshing and hopeful. Often it takes getting away from the hustle and bustles of life's city lights to see the bigger, brighter, picture.

This is uplifting, this is wondeful. This is what I needed to read tonight. This is all I have to say...

Once hidden, and now revealed so that you understand purpose in life, and others about you also have been given this gift of your self discovery....I love the phrase about being the simple man with the flashlight...for with this light you are able to project so much self confidence and meaning unto others! And, you always write of the stars and celestial bodies so beautifully!!
This is a very insightful and inspiring write!! WELL DONE!!

Lovely - I like how you have captured such a mysterious, wondrous occurrence. It was always an idea of mine that we turn into stars when we die and all of those miraculous lights up there are all the beautiful, creative souls that have come before us. Thank you for sharing this. It is delicate and delightful.
Light,

Always good to have dreams and set out to make those goals possible. The sky and beyond the limits. It is a very good thing to have clarity in your life and feel confident about where life is going. Excellent piece very well written.

This is an Outstanding and uplifting piece. You have created a piece that has the power of inspiration. I can relate to the comfort and clarity that gazing at the night sky in solitude offers to those willing to participate. It is a beautiful thing! Once again, Dale you have created another Masterpiece!

So lifting, having us gaze into the skies... taking us on a journey into past, present, and future... the intimacy of standing and looking up at the stars... finding peace. Your words do inspire and raise us up.

Really a ton of creative thought went into this poem. Your work is always so genuine and heartfelt. The way that you explain this state of clarity, it's so poetic. Not only do you give us a visual perception of it but also a mental picture that's so clearly explained in the final lines. This is so moving. It made me think of so much personally. Thank you for the amazing write.
