Across the Universe

Across the universe Has there ever been a band, That so many understand Life changing music, made and played, By courtesy, of their hand Imagination limitless, Creations lit the spark in us Visions of a better time, unreal sublime, Took away, the dark in us Those were the heady days, Absorbing us in many ways Seducing ears, eyes filled with tears, With how their songs amaze Now I recall how sad we were, At the setting of the sun But all good things, must come to end, When all is said and sung I would wrap up all those lines, That tingle jingle at the nerves And send them in a rocket ship, To burst, across the universe Nothings gonna change their world Nothings gonna change their words Nothings gonna change their world As they fly across the universe For Beatlemania Contest Poem Written 7 March 13

Very psychedelic. Towards the end I couldn't help but remember how I used to LOVE Rocket Man by Elton John. That song has always moved me. I know this was about the Beatles, but I was always a bigger fan of CCR, ELO, Billy Joel, The Steve Miller Band etc. etc. Still... it's a really good piece and I liked the imagination behind it. Thank you so much for checking out a few of my works yesterday... means a lot!

Richard, you chose to use the title of my favourite song (Beatles or otherwise) and did not disappoint! I love that you turned this poem into a tribute to The Beatles. I was especially moved by the image of that rocket ship "bursting" across the universe. Congrats on your win in my contest :)
