Thoughts ReflectedInside of a Spoon

If I had a wooden spoon
To reflect the stars inside
And see the answers
To the problems of the world
I’d fix them

Staring at the stars
I think of you
And my eyes fill with tears
Why did you have to leave me?
How my flame still burns for you

The city burns against the darkness of night
I walk the sooty streets
Thinking of you
My eyes fill with tears
Why did you haveyou haveto die?
Brain matter
Frying and drying
On a summer’s day sidewalk

We walk the park
Barefoot
And make love
Wild, naked
On the grass in
Broad daylight

I sit here
Yearning for a silver spoon
To reflect my thoughts in
But all I have
Are white plastic
I can’t see anything reflected in them
Except the snow outside my window

If I were a Spoon-smith,
I would mold one of bronze
In which to view
The dreams of our mothers
Because we know the dreams of our fathers
All too well

(big hugggsssssss) I send many angel hugs your way, sweet friend, I can understand this kind of yearning and I certainly hope through a starlight spoon you can see an alphabet soup bowl full of beauties, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
