Stars In My Head Like Rocks In A Pool Poem by Bob Thomas

I'm digging down so deep, in life's walk of sleep.
To get to the end of a lost road, descend.

Staring ahead is opaque at best.
Dodging barbed wire, the odd screeching tyre.

Suddenly nothing, fear grips at my heart.
Teetering edge of a cliff painted black.

No road behind me, I cannot go back.
Nothing before me but death at one step.

My hearts beating so fast, no thoughts what to do.
Step over the cliff edge, my god! What a view.

Into deaths clutches, I enter myself.
All of a sudden life slows right on down.

Explosions in my head, 'have I hit the ground'.
The stars all before me completely confound.

The rock pool of life, points and laughs at the sound,
of the stars in my cranium banging around.

My eyes see the sky, my heart feels the light.
The stars in my head are just perfect tonight.
