Where Poem by Smoky Hoss
Where
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.......
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.

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
