Stargasm's

midnight under the mulberry tree's

deeply consumed without worded language

by a cavalcade of unhealthy thing's

slightly unhinged by all the number's

though controlled by the sacred thought's

what makes us human

what gives me thought

under this sky tonight

unblued in the darkness

underneath a night without the scattered light

i see the stars and they speak with me

deeply from my tiny surface

i see the universe

so grand so infinite

she gives to me the greatest things

like the dry sea of a mystery

like the long distance of a bending time

across lighted pinpricks upon a blackened blanket

across the greatest distance's spread far by chaos

from our tiny island of sacred order

among infinite world's and the grand explosion's

around the infinite hole's and violent planet's

within infinite way's to consume the mind

to destroy the body

to give birth to nature

from death to life

and back again

i know it hurts

i know it kills

i know it births

and i am not welcome

but it feels so good

i know it's true

that all is stardust

even me and you

beauty from disaster

order from the chaos

i see the future

i'm in love with the present

underneath the mulberry tree's

i see the things that have no word's

and they speak with me

and they say to me

you should not worry

my dear my love

you need no savior

you are home already

this is fabulous - I love it - brings back the bale after the message I just sent you - probably should have read this first - perspective - but I don't and here we are - beauty from disaster, love that.

were you high when you wrote this - it is definitely a higher level.

hope your day is fab my friend X

Disaster and beauty are siblings together. You can't know what beauty is until you've seen what beauty is not. The gift we all share is the ability to see the difference. All the tools you will ever need are already there inside, it's about how you use them, how you refine them into something you can use. Most people just watch the movie, it takes effort, sacrifice and dedication to actually understand the movie. Even the worst film you've ever seen, you can make it into something special if you look hard enough. Life is like a movie like that. We're not here to change the world in the moment, we are here to understand it and if you're lucky, through that understanding you can make choices that change the future for the better.

And yes, I was high when I wrote this. I'm high when I write most things. I'm glad you liked it.

A pleasing consideration of the question of the cosmos and our place in it, Dave. And I have no relations to Sam Geraci the wrestler (I did not find a way to reply directly to your question - I’m new to the site.)

[Davidgeo]

Glad you enjoyed it.

And it's all good, I've been here for a while and I still don't know what's exactly going on.

I wouldn't be suprised if you were distantly related to Sam. He's got family all over the place. Also, he was/is probably one of the 10 greatest wrestlers ever to come out of the state of Illinois which is saying a lot because this state tends to produce outstanding grapplers on a regular basis.

I think this may be my favourite piece written by you. Contemplating the universe under the mullberry trees in a starlit sky. Yes live for the present. We will be stardust for a long time.

Worry and uncertainty are foolish things... just live your your life, we already have the gift.

I like these longer poems of yours. Keep it up.

[Davidgeo]

I'm glad. The longer ones of mine, they're usually f*****g terrible. This one has it's flaws but I like how it ended.
