Stars dim, August morn, an early bird flies My head is swimming with last night’s cries Judgment, rules, negativities Changes bring fears, ugly jealousies Too weary to listen, I have to move on I’ve spun into orbit, I’ve lived here too long They see a glimmer of something they want Next dancer, next lover, their elusive dreams They carry their turmoil, and plant the next seed And then cry to me about unfulfilled needs Too weary to listen, I have to hang up I’m still out in orbit, I’ve run out of hope It’s one thing to say you have love, trust,and faith Another to know it, when you’re out in space Attachment’s entanglements, clinging, and then Somebody lies…deception again But liars move on, so skip the next stone, and Remember to bless them, though you’re alone Skies lighten slowly above the black trees Where are the ones who screamed out their needs What can you give yourself, what brings the dawn Seek the skies, pay attention, the questions ask you Ask yourself…ask the ocean And listen for truth September sun shines through foggy mist My shadow, where are you, sweet compassionist Giant steps lurching me backward and forth What is happening, wait, I asked for the truth Face in the wind and the salty sea air Maybe orbit is my place and I could stay there The rain brings a certain refreshment to earth Clarity, focus, reflection and truth They’ll see it and feel it, and know it in me But some will resist, as for them it can’t be I didn’t want to leave you behind, but Intelligent is she who knows her own mind Poetic and still, ocean and moon Walk lightly, talk softly, the truth speaks to you Souls cycle in love, love our constantness Forgiveness, compassion, and true acceptance I’ll love you forever, wherever you are, but I’m staying in orbit to shine like a star |

This was a highly wordy piece, and you made it flow so effortlessly. The imagery was incredible as you metioned the sea,sun,even space. "...I’ll love you forever, wherever you are, but I’m staying in orbit to shine like a star..." ~ and i quote you proudly ! Stop by and say hi to me, I will be orbiting the moon(and I mean literally of course hehe). I loved this!  ~Talia |

"I’ll love you forever, wherever you are, but I’m staying in orbit to shine like a star" I really like this "You are so "grounded" in your orbit. Very smart lady! |
