Dead Stars Poem by Sonya Florentino
Dead Stars
I didn't know they were dead stars
Was I praying to the dark
Following the wrong charts
Leading further from the heart
Was I simply going nowhere
Stranded in the past
Making all the wrong turns
Tripping, tripping on my tracks
Lost in the dark
But I know I'll find my way
I don't want to stay
In the dark
Where it seems I've been everywhere
But nowhere near the heart
Lost from the start
I have to learn to listen
To my heart and nothing else
I'll have to cross the distance
Before I can be myself
Find myself, free myself

How magnificently introspective and honest. And oh how we try to find the right path. A marvelous write, I could feel myself in your words!
Love your title. In my mind I can see those lightless stars. You are in good poetic voice in this one, Sonya.10, of course. Warmest regards, Sandra

Nobody could say you don't think like a poet. Any self respecting writer would be jealous of those first lines. After after recovering from the jealousy..in awe, of course!
