Here I am, with a blank page
What will I write on it?
I could write about my dreams,
But I can’t seem to reach them
From the place where I sit

Like little stars they twinkle
Far up in the sky,
But, like stars, they seem so far—
Way too far for me to touch
Since I’m just a normal guy

Maybe instead some pretty flowers
Could speak through my poet’s hands
If I could only but grasp
Their intangible spirits
I would start to understand

If I could reach those flowers
I am sure that I would find
That the dreams that I had lost
Or that shined beyond my reach
Are with the flowers intertwined

Enjoyable post, I love the way you've reached for the flowers with one hand while keeping the other one poised to grasp the stars.
