Falling into the Stars in Daylight


Falling into the stars
in daylight
I hold my skin
knowing my heart
is too open
my surface cannot hold
keep it safe
from this giant leap
that questions who I am

Still I would jump
across this mote of doubt
leap into this intimate meaning
give spur to the pounding race
across the plain
in search of destiny
if I could but know
an answer
that survives the tumbling

This dangling has me drenched
breathe me a purpose
that keeps me mighty
in ropes of words
for I am
falling into the stars
in daylight

===============================

The title alone is worth its weight in poetic gold....
I do so love the way your mind works....and the things it whispers to your pen.

You speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes.
My body aches to breathe your breath ... your words keep me alive.

Thank you for sharing this one with us, Martie.  It is so very beautiful.

I have often felt this way about wearing my heart on my sleeve and being frightened when starting a new stage of life.

Falling into the stars
in daylight
I hold my skin
knowing my heart
is too open
my surface cannot hold
keep it safe
from this giant leap
that questions who I am

This poem is so very meaningful and well written

Oh how I too have spent many a day like this, but I would sure wouldn't know how to say it like this Martie, this was brilliant.

I love the way your words just wash over me.

Your words have bound me and I find myself falling into the stars right along with you.

Wonderful write!
