Where Do They Go, These Little Poems

They crumble like confetti, These little poems I write, One letter on each tiny scrap, They blow into the night. To tickle the toes of a passing star, And burn with its out-crying, Ashes to float in the atmosphere, Over-heating there expiring. And then they will like angel dust Fly through space for a million years, ‘Til one day (for they are never gone) A hand clutches a fist full and holds it dear. It will rearrange those particles glowing, In the shape of its futuristic soul, For there will always be a working bard, So long as lovers stroll.

Sunlite, So glad to take this stroll and wonder about stars. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9 But I would take all the poems with me to read, even unto eternity, if I could. -Richard

Hi Sunlite, I reread this poem Sunlite and I enjoyed it even more the second time around. the futuristic thought and thread of someone finding these little bits floating in space and that they will be collected and made whole again, truly touched me, it is always good to go back and reread poems, you find layers beneath that reveal themselves. Congratulations once again on POTD. Hugs, Jennifer.
