Confessions in Starfall

Sitting upon the sidelines of eventide

Meddlesome by conscience 

Thoughts of solace undermine

Before I spy the wounded star befallen

 

A grain of sand, a grandeur plan

Lands within the nexus hour

Slips right through His cosmic hand

A soul off 'tis ivory tower

 

A hero, a warrior perhaps incognito

Done battles within a northern sky

Meets the fates and saints alike

A blaze of glory then all is nigh 

Those moments unbeknownst and forthwith

When you stop for no reason but to cry

Touches human heart and soul

When starlight sudden dies

 

Out there confessions betwixt an open air

Pleas upon echoes of forgiveness

'Neath cold bate breath I hear them

Then silence once again blankets eveniness

And thoughts within they quicken

Manifest past sins hoping to expunge

In mind's eye the star falls once again 

And then again it falls to dust

I think it's beautiful! It makes me think, makes my kind begin to wonder.

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks, that's what I'm shooting for in each of my writings that is to spark wonder.

maybe there is another galaxy and we will wind up there someday with a chance to redo this life...but i wonder if we should have so many regrets...life just happens and we happen with it...and our stars glow and get dimmer at times...but that is how the sky of life is...

magical poem, Michael.

Sometimes we try to find ourselves among the stars . But not all such searches are unsuccessful. Universe has the clue for our woes.

[Michael G. Smith]

Yes, it's fun to stare at the stars and wonder.
