Blazing Star

Beyond the night I see a light that shines from a distant shore. A light so bright across this black night that I cannot ignore. A blazing star so far away that sends a sweet dream to me. Beyond this night I feel the fire that burns incessantly. Across tempest waters rife with fear she calls to me - come yonder. With trembling lips I try to speak - my spirit stills, to ponder. My eyes now closed to darkness, as my voice screams back her name. My spirit weeps for what I must leave, my heart for all its gain. written 07.07.2016

you are like me (in response to what you said down here to me). I often do not know how a poem will end up either.

Sad one, but beautiful poem.

Thanks, Andrea. I had the first line in my head for a while before the rest finally came out. Many times I don't have a clue where that first line will lead me. Sometimes I will finish and the poem will be completely different from what I imagined. But this write is where I did want to go.
