Grasping For Stars In The Light Of Day

By liquid_emotion

I’m sitting here writing with a pounding heart
And I don’t want this fresh, new start
But I don’t want to stay and die
To live my life as a passing sigh
Contentment frozen in another time
Reread in someone else’s rhyme
And I’m standing still afraid to move
Not knowing what I try to prove
But I know that I won’t find it here
And I won’t stop because of fear
I have to move forward and beyond the past
Give into the time that’s fading fast
I’m hoping for something I can’t explain
With nothing to lose and unknown gain
Moving out into a different day
Finding the world in my own way
An unseen country by my own eyes
An island where my future lies
A foreign people, palms, and sand
Tomorrow my home on unknown land
It’s not my first path on shaky ground
Just another song with a different sound

The title of the poem alone demands comment; which is very cool by the way. I liked this allot. It is hard not to empathize while reading it. Very consistent intensity and pace from the first line to the last as well.

Nice piece! Your relocation is surely making for a lot of inspiration - I really like the lines "Not knowing what I try to prove But I know that I won’t find it here". That captures how I've felt at times in my life... Ciao, T/S
