Stars. What laughter Universal

Attended before Earth

Opened hands, set molten iron

Air bubbling...

Stars. What fanged ocean

Foam caressed shore infants,

Mewling, mammaling, on rough sand...

Sighting haze images...

Stars. What stars birthed the

Mother...swaddling, lullabying,

Protectress. Huntress..."Yes, little

One. Forever mountains.

Climb up, up...it is your

Time...written so long ago...

Now.

  1. For it I give you a star to add to your Y!A heavens... contained in a little box off to the side.

    Stars bring laughter

    the little star child drinking from

    the Milky Way

    of Mother Heaven

    To the poet

    the inspiration of a star

    Morning glory

    before the sun invades

    their tranquil playground

    A sight untold

    when the peach of Sunrise

    lays soft as a blanket

    under the falling heads

    of sleepy little Diamond Babes

    Who can blame them

    for being tiered

    from their long nights

    of mountain climbing?

    Cradle of the sky

    laced with shimmering display

    Oh how we adore the nights angels

    thankful for the Sun

    but also

    thankful for the Night

    -Your poetry often inspires me... this came from the feeling I got from your words. It is nice because, of late, I have not had much of a Muse... I am slowly getting her back and I owe it, in part, to those like you who forever give of your own soul... in you wonderful poetry... Thank you my friend...

    Blessed Be in the Love of the Star Child, and Light, Siren


  2. Me thinks your star is Bright......Good Morning

    Yep ....Me thunking cap be on

  3. And will stars still laugh at the end of man?  The evolution of Earth and Man, watched by the stars.  Guardians, Gods, or merely recorders?  Thoughts to think about.  It must be time for a nice cabernet.

  4. Twinkle, twinkle little star

    Elyslund you are the brightest by far.

  5. Elyslund,

    The perfect soundtrack to this one is a song called "Outta Space" by Billy Preston. I went to look up album credits and realized that he died Tuesday at the age of 59. If you don't recognize the name, he was the keyboardist for some of The Beatles greatest hits including 'Get Back' and was dubbed 'The Fifth Beatle'... R.I.P, William! You should dedicate that poem to his website. Grade... (h**l, how can you grade the teacher?)

  6. Very Nice,

    Thanks For Sharing...!!

  7. Pondering poem, stars amazing, pictures now we get from

    Hubble, are breathtaking, to say the least, Nothing can

    capture their brillance, of colors!

    Neat poem, especially liked the first stanza.

  8. In the beginning unto now..

    Under star light,

    in a  starry starry night

              Gaea,

    on her mystic  milky way

    appears star bright

    birthing  gods,

    and  humans

    crying om,  om,  om.

    Your poem is primordial!

    and inspirational

    thank you!

  9. I like `set molten iron/ air bubbling' because you make it from liquid to gas, and imply hotter temperatures still, without using a poetically inapt word like `plasma;' iron is lovely as the equilibrium element in stars.

    I wonder if mewling infants are from As You Like it; this seems to be exordium of a life-cycle poem, but the quotation mark in stz. 3, l. 3 does not have a mate anywhere in the poem, which makes me ponder.

    I am so sorry to keep bringing up Blake, and I am only being silly; but your last stanza does remind me of the picture with the boy holding the ladder up to the moon, captioned, `I want, I want.'  Perhaps it is the business of the lotus, thorn, and drum.

  10. nice flash-back image, as a animation of mountain dweller feelings. Wonder Y U didn't come up w/ a stanza picturing the strange link between stars and ppl (astrology). nice!!

  11. You are a true S cubed...Sentient StarStuff

    And as always shining bright.

  12. That was wonderful.

  13. great
