Pondering Stars

I gaze up at the brilliant mixture of the light of burning stars

 

With a suspicion that those stars of hefty yet faint stature might hush my awe

 

For this sight of shimmering stars might have been overshadowed.

 

By their fixed fate, they all could have diminished, but they could still be perceived;

 

Or maybe not, maybe that myriad of makings in our hazy view will yet stand to mesmerize our eyes.

 

Either way, we can merely persist to ponder over how we could pioneer into the ocean of void to touch these dazzling stars,

 

But, for the time being, all we can do is but wonder while we are bound to the round Earth.

To the Sun and Beyond

We wish for the fury to end,

The sadness to cease,

And our souls

To find

Everlasting love.

We will hunt

That prayer to the

Angelic sun

And beyond.

And even though

Discovering an answer

Will be difficult,

We can

Emancipate ourselves,

Reaching the liberty

Beyond

The Gates

Of the sun.

 

Remember,

All stars

Sing different songs of life,

But we hold

The same

Fate.

 

One fate.

 

One us.
