under stars
Was the sky always so alluring?
Since when have I been detached from everything?
I ask the moon, he answers
Not too attached, he answers
When do you see, if you're always talking?
When do you feel, if you're always giving?
Eyes wide open, a river ready to fall
What's stopping me, I can't really recall
I ask the sun and she answers
Whispering through my spirit, she answers
Here above, I see all
Your cries and screams, yes, I've heard it all
Would the sky swallow me if I begged
Would the wind carry me to where I'm headed
I asked the rain, and it answers
Comforting me, it answers
Nothing else can save you but yourself
In *** for too long, you must've forgotten the peace you held
Pondering under stars
With nothing else to look at,
But my beautiful scars
@SyriusSystem
I love how you’re asking nature for answers, but in the end, it’s about finding peace within yourself. Beautifully written! I find it really intriguing that you named the poem "Under Stars" and your name is Sirius System – especially since the Sirius star system is one of the brightest and closest to Earth. Cool connection!
@azurePond
Thanks so much!^^ I didn't think the reference to the sars would be caught on XD
while I was writting this, I was actually listening to the piano piece, "icarus" by tony ann, (magnifiscent piece, reccomended) and I was feeling poetic. I'm glad you liked it<3
@SyriusSystem
Tony Ann? I think I've heard his mashups – like Moonlight Sonata and Interstellar, Experience and Rain... but I haven't heard Icarus yet. I'll check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
@SyriusSystem
Its so fulfilling to know that we can always turn to nature..it has sooo many lessons in store! And in loving our scars we see the beauty it shows at a microscopic level...how a few cells die and bind together to heal the wound but leave the scars as their graves..and love how you called them beautiful!
[p.s. This is just a poetic med students logic..hehe *(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧*]
@wIthpeACE
ohhh!0o0 I didn't know that that's how healing the wound works! interestingg^^
@SyriusSystem
Haha, yeah! It's my take on it but this does happen. Our platelets, on coming with contact with sunlight, activate three times before becoming a mesh of dead cells with allow RBCs to stick to them and form clot! [this is just me babbling extra info..lol]
@SyriusSystem
I found this poem very interesting, and I liked the almost ambivalent melancholy it engenders. I think that anthropomorphised celestial and nature elements gave it a very distant and detached atmosphere which added to the poems beauty. Nicely done.
