Among the Stars: A Poem
Conceived: 30 Aug, 2020 Completed and Recited: 29 Sep, 2020 With this poem, I attach a recitation which is my attempt at bringing a tune to it. Hope you enjoy. Shut the doors to my heart And hope that it's a start Can't really trust who you are And I know I belong among the stars. Watch me raise the walls that I have built Against your words laced with gilt And when the gilt corrodes, a light is shone: The Universe is what I call my own. And yet you could be a treasure trove Sometimes the glitter can be gold And diamonds are made from coal; But remember you won't outshine my goal. Yes, I've seen the black and white Changing days bring changing tides But 'til I know who you are I belong among the stars.
