Coment on a Comet

28/8/2018

1 Comment

 
We can naught be but what we are
Sayeth the comet unto the star
As they dance together in the endless beyond

Cosmic hummingbirds fluttering across the flowers of creation

Yet neither is my station and my light shines as but a brief flair
Incredibly
Wonderfully
Brief

Long enough to learn that to truly live is all too rare
and to die
  all too common

Our time spent on this blue rock we call home
Hurling through space at an alarming rate
Indisputable proof that anything can be normalized

rationalized

Doing our best to face down fear whilst always aware that our end is near

Do the stars feel fear?
Do they feel joy and pain?
Two sides of the same
Dancing through the dream till our comet runs out of steam and we hurtle to the ground as shooting stars

for some hopeful child to wish upon

Time not to waste
With the speed of the cosmos we must make haste
To create a better reality
A manifest destiny

Powerful manifesto
Changing without understanding
Faster than society arranging

out of control
IT ALWAYS WAS!

Do we control the coming of day?
Do we control our lives’ way?
Our perception only I say

I am a comet
Born of stars
That’s me

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
