Listen, hear the call. Far away, among the stars. Words spoken from the heavens, reflected. I hear a sound, hear the words, intrigue ensues. Where? Where must I go to find the words? Deep into the cosmos, past the stars, into the void. Words echoing from all sides, I hear them. Flying in my mind, into the deepest space. My heart beats a steady echo in return, answering. Who are you? Where are you? What do you want? I ask these questions over and over again. No answer. Missing asteroids as they fly by, traveling on. Brushing the tail of a comet, a never ending trek. Stark silence of deep space assaulting my ears. Eyes glinting against a back drop of red suns. Drinking from a cascade of starlight, quenched. Eating the crust of a solitary moon glowing. I ask again, who are you? No answer....none Flying through black holes, galaxy to galaxy. Where am I ......Where are you taking me? Suddenly, clear as the clearest voice, an answer. I smile, satisfied in knowing one special thought. Four words, always in my mind...waiting for my next dream. First Star till morning.... Found only in my dreams.... |

"Stark silence of deep space assaulting my ears. Eyes glinting against a back drop of red suns. Drinking from a cascade of starlight, quenched. Eating the crust of a solitary moon glowing." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I love this part....but the entire poem is fantastic!  |

Thanx Rosepetal. Hard work and lots of computer time.... Kicking the kids out of the room and telling my wife to get me a TV dinner.... (just joking) |

I love getting lost in the galaxy. What an enjoyable trip this has been! Kick those kids out for the night (gently) but have your wife by your side as you slide along those moonbeams.  You can always eat tomorrow. |

 I loved this one! And...I absolutely love Peter Pan, for if it weren't for him I would have to grow up and I don't plan on doing that any time soon! This was wonderful, and I live on the first star after morning, so make sure to visit some day. ~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ |
