When I look up at the ageless stars So near, and so far Looking all lost and all alone In the void that they call home Oh so fortunate they are In the loving bosom of eternity Cradled in a constancy Carried aloft above the weight Of the world unlike mortals too late Such as I to be eaten by gravity I wish not that fate so desperate Upon any earthbound spirit My sphere which I used to call my own A very real home sweet home I bleed with longing for it |

I do too, and I'm still here. It's never going to be like it was, lovie. Never. Even if this is a metaphor? no. Never. I'm sooooo sorry, too.  |

I know that you know Karen. Thanks. This was my first poem written after 'the event'. And thank you too Billie, I sure wouldn't turn that down. |

I wish not that fate so desperate Upon any earthbound spirit My sphere which I used to call my own A very real home sweet home I bleed with longing for it This brings tears to my eyes... I know I just lost a home, not my entire world... but deep inside... I know, too... and I applaud your poignant write!! |

I loved the concise thoughts of the last stanza, but this is my favorite line... "In the loving bosom of eternity Cradled in a constancy" how it makes me long a bit too! Lovely picture you paint, friend. |
