sometimes at night I stare into the sky stars so far away it's still possible to see them I try to zero into the black, like road tar space between the stars I don't move a muscle twitch an eyelid fearing concentration will be lost for I so want to embrace the farthest ink blot I possibly can and, as I stand, strangely, I know gawping into the outermost I receive something back yes, yes I do something accesses my mind and although I'm in awe of this tingling feeling I know not what it is it is at that moment the stars merge ruining the effect the moon larger than I've ever seen it pisses on my concentration whatever it was whoever it was God? little green men? space monsters on the warpath to earth? are gone and I'm alone ~ Passionate kiss, like spider web, leads to undoing of fly. ~ |

Dear Jerry, I love this very much, as I am a stargazer too. I think you felt the oneness with All There is. Your core felt its belonging, the utter awe for the beauty of it. An experiment to repeat no doubt. Most beautiful. Love, Margherita |

Yes, I know you are a stargazer, Margherita, and if I hadn't have known it your last poem would have clued me in. Thank you so much for being here. ~ Passionate kiss, like spider web, leads to undoing of fly. ~ |

What is that feeling when we look at the stars? That's a mystery... God? I think so. The stars are amazing. Thank you for this poem and making me recall the wonder of the stars. |

Thanks Dawn. The wonder of stars is that they make us wonder. We have been to the moon, but the normal guy/gal still knows nothing about it. You would think we would have made another trip. Help ten more trips. Set up a Hooters there, or sumptin'. |

Hi, Jerry. I was looking at the stars one night when suddenly all the lights went out. The stars literally jumped out at me. So beautiful. I agree with Margherita and, no, you are not alone. Enjoyed your write! Helen |

Jerry...love this look into your star gazing self. I think the night sky gives us a brief glimpse of infinity. |

Aw, I know I'm not alone, Helen, I just put that there for poetical effect. Thank you so much for stopping by and reading my stuff. Martie, you are absolutely correct about the infinity. Thanks . . . ~ 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name. ~ |
