Greg Gaul Poet Monorhyme

Behind the Sky

Behind the sky lie fears we deny
Behind the sky lurks the eyes that pry
Behind the sky lives new worlds to try
Behind the sky lights man's mythic lie
Behind the sky causes hopes to fly
Behind the sky feel what makes me cry
Behind the sky opens as I die
Behind the sky hides an answer why

Sam Kauffman May 4, 2022 at 11:46 AM What lies "behind" is the eternal, unanswered mystery to ponder until we enter the "beyond." Such a depth of philosophical wondering in your simple lines. You always bring me into that place "behind" the first meaning of your lines. Congratulations on your win! Enjoyed this wandering in your questions Greg! Blessings. Greg Gaul May 5, 2022 at 3:42 PM Sam, your philisophical mind is always asking the next question or the question behind the question. They say curiosity is the attribute of great artists. This is what propels your poetry. Thanks so much for turning your interest to my humble work. Your visits are special and most coveted.

Carolyn Devonshire October 2, 2020 at 11:12 AM Your style is unique, Greg. I guess your "mystery" is what lies behind the sky. Very interesting. Congratulations on your win! Best wishes, Carolyn Greg Gaul October 2, 2020 at 12:57 PM Carolyn, thanks for taking a chance on my different momorhyme. Always appreciate your notice.

Andrea Dietrich August 30, 2020 at 3:20 PM yes, just really what is behind the sky?? I think there are other dimenstions not even seen by science's telescopes! Greg Gaul August 30, 2020 at 4:57 PM Andrea, that is a creative approach. For now though, only you can decide what is behind the sky. That will be your reality. Thanks for your remarks and visit.
