Where Poem by Smoky Hoss

Where

Rating: 5.0


The stars and the moon
Silently dance to their own tune -
While somewhere
Light years away,
Amongst the deep dark,
Awaits a far brighter day;
Such great mystery I cannot hear
Nor can I see, yet
Contemplating, I wonder:
Is it life out there, of which I am aware... or is it just me?
A friend says I am thinker.
But, I know he is just being kind,
For I've never attended an institution
That forms deep thoughts within the mind.
- Time like wind
Relentlessly moves forever along,
While I,
So soon, will be forgotten and gone.
- Still, the lights in the night sky
Refuse to fade and die,
And I here ponder
To where do they endlessly fly?
- Perhaps if I only had
More of that knowledge and education,
Then would raise
My lowly intellectual situation, and
Improve my meager station.
- But, then again
With or without me
The river of life
Shall continue to flow;
Therefore; 'tis best to just remain
Simple and free,
Let it all go, to
'Where' all eventually must go.......

Smoky, you don't need lots of education. Look at me, I did school and then 2 years college plus 10 yrs Army and now I'm a Senior Engineer by dint of pushing the possibilities of what I could put on my CV, You THINK and write and that makes you something, someone different, special, a poet. Enjoying your work. Thank you for the kind comments on mine, much appreciated

We may not have degrees, but we are the dreamers of life, and that I see as much more important, because without a dream we slowly die.
