SFoxWriting’s Alphabet Challenge ~ “W”
Why?
In all the galaxies
Universe wide,
Every star that lives,
Every star that’s died,
In all the worlds
That circle a sun,
Of those solar systems,
We occupy this one.
On all the continents
Across our planet,
In every country,
Countless do inhabit,
Generations past,
Or not yet conceived,
Every birth celebrated,
Or each death we’ve grieved,
Only you are you,
And this is your time,
An existence barely measurable
In the scope of mankind.
Do you consider it
When you look at the sky?
Do you ponder the unlikelihood
And ask yourself why?

insightful and beautiful, you have a great way with words. I look forward to more of your work.
On a side note, this poem actually feels something more like a rap, have you ever tried reciting your poetry in that style ?

Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words.
My husband and I did turn a poem into a song, but not a rap. I would love to hear someone who can actually rap recite one of my poems though.

too many secrets of universe
and all those are in your eyes
I do wonder about stars
but not which are in skies
tell me all about the dreams
you see
and all the secrets you hide
Why would I wonder about death
or how much do I live
while all I can do
is give reigns in your hand
and look for answers
in your smile

I’m trying to increase the number of posts I make too. I’ve decided to add regular posts about the local art scene to my blog. It doesn’t detract from the theme at all. Plus it will give me the opportunity to promote my hometown artists and musicians, and to maybe draw in some of their followers.
