Looking into the eyes of the innocent, Looking into the uncertainty of my future As I look up into the sky, A giant galaxy of the unknown, A darkness, which cannot be explained There are limitless possibilities, But limited imaginations Endless stars, farther than the eye can see. Much beyond what we don’t know Much beyond what we care to believe Out there may be a bigger and better place, Waiting to be discovered, Waiting to be explored, There’s got to be more to this than I can see, Limitless seas of knowledge Beautiful in it’s own right From the stars we can already see, To the empty spaces, Where I wish to be, Someday we will know, What is truly out there What it all truly means But until then Ill continue to dream I’ll continue to wish for all, That I’ll someday get to see.

"There are limitless possibilities, But limited imaginations" These are my favorite lines. I love these two. That said, I might not use 'limetless' again down in the poem, here: "Limitless seas of knowledge" Vast seas of knowledge - perhaps? Something like that. I like the poem. I can take from it a lot of things. I'm not sure if I get the last few lines, mainly, this one: "I’ll continue to wish for all," The poem is great. I'm just not sure of the formatting... poems without line breaks, I've foudn, tend to bore the reader, and lose their interest fairly quickly, unless your an avid poetry reader, and maybe even then. Its not that the content ain't great, but as humans, we can tend to be... limited, no? You would know where you paused in writig when writing far better then I. Maybe like this? Just a thought: "Looking into the eyes of the innocent, Looking into the uncertainty of my future. As I look up into the sky, A giant galaxy of the unknown, A darkness, which cannot be explained There are limitless possibilities, But limited imaginations Endless stars, farther than the eye can see.

I like the optimistic (naive? ) tone of this poem since poets can be so depressing sometimes.. me being one of them. I thought breaking it into stanzas would help because sometimes very good lines drowned when surrounded by too many other lines. Know what I mean? Good poem. Thanks for posting. - Jaime Shiva went on break now look at how much it's gonna take to make this place a space where we can breathe. [This message has been edited by Jaime (01-18-2003 07:10 PM).] |
