Sumus.

I'm not quite sure about this one.. though I never really am. It is (shockingly) another late night free verse that this time compares humans to what we are made of, and how we should be treated.

We are all made of

Stardust

Fueled by the

Sun

And within us:

Our own small

Universes.

 

As stars,

We are beautiful.

As the sun,

We are alive with vigor.

As universes,

We are important.

 

We are as important as

The stars that created us.

And every bit as unique

As the universe we live in.

 

So,

Look at people

Like you look at

The stars.

 

Crave people

As you crave

The sun.

 

And

If nothing else,

Treat every person

With the same amount

Of wonder,

And compassion,

 And admiration,

As you do

The universe you call home.

Author's Note

Here is yet another bit from my love hate relationship of late night writing. I love that is is my raw thoughts and emotions.. but I hate that they are so unpolished. Does it work with the style? Is the content good? Let me know what you guys think! I'd love to hear from you on other poems as well :) I believe "You." is my best while "Sorry." needs the most criticism.

Awesome piece, I love the comparisons and beauty and love. Excellent write, i personally only had one thing stand out to me, and it could just be me. This line, " Are our own small" made me want to jump up and grab my eye-patch and sword and TAKE her star beauty. "ARE OUR, matey, I be taken by her beauty, captain, ARE OUR," lol. Beside that, everything else is SUPERB. Wonderful job.

Awesome Floral! I love the connection that your poem brings to all people and things in the universe. We are all made of the same things and it's unfortunate we tend to judge each other. The image of us being made with Stardust and fueled by the sun is powerful. I love it

Very poignant and profound.
This piece is like the antithesis to my writing.
We took some of the same facts, used them to describe humanity, and then went in completely opposing directions. (I love that about writing)
Give it a quick one-two edit, you've got something really special here!

I will have to admit that this is one of my nicer poems, thanks so much for checking it out! :)
