Into the Expanses
By raspberry89
Parables learned the hard way can be haunting
In a life lived solitary lonely and wanting
But this is what I get for trying to trap a star
An emotional scar, smothering radiance mars
The balance of things was too upset
And the other stargazers couldn't forget
The pressure quickly became unstable
It’s like I was searching for truth in a fable
You may think you know who a person is
But blinding is the star that is burdened like this
It's bound to become an illusion of what you wish it could be
When you do good you should throw it in the sea
Don't drink poison to quench a thirst
In morals the sad man must become well versed

Great flow, and great imagery. one can never fully see the soul and true aura of one person completely, not even when all this person seems to have has been bared...the human mind could be more complex than the universe really...like a kaleidoscope in motion

Knowledge of all can be an unbridled burden, temperance goes a long way. One can never truly understand the mindset and behaviors of other people without knowing exactly what they have experience and what drives them. A truly remarkable write, really loved this piece.
