sky person

By Magdalena

.

mortal bliss wanes from clock to shadow 
you unfold between the second hand 
and my heart beats in time to its movement 
  
remembering my fierce that hid in secrets 
while your star exploded much brighter 
your bold blocked out the sun as i withered 
  
minutes keep moving with your silhouette 
the atmosphere pulls apart in fits and pelts 
my mind abseils to the safety of apathy 
  
i used to think you were a super hero 
watching in wonderment, open mouthed 
.my awe of you still lingers in my blind spot

    This can speak to so many aspects of life. From the ones we looked up to from childhood to death. It can also apply to various aspects of projection, imagine that star really isn't a sun and hot or that mountain off in the distance really isn't real. disappointments dress up in so many different costumes

    We are frequently disappointed in others and perhaps too, even in our very system of beliefs. I think it calls for "the doctrine of low expectations" - to find some semblance of happiness; and ignorance is bliss. But, we need to be true to our nature, and there's the rub...Cheers again lady! - Dan

    Thank you Dan. I found my happiness in being single for 12 years, maybe more and finding I do not need what perception can make one believe one does. A lot of my poems are written from reflection of my past. :)
