In the Stars
Inspired by Robert James Liguori's" In The Stars By The Rolling Stones Poetry Contest"
Living in this world of sin
where evil and corruption run wild,
can you recall a sweeter time
than when you were but a child?
We go to school and think we’ve learned
the right and necessary things,
then work our jobs; like zombies
as we live for what the weekend brings.
Take a pause and look up to the sky.
See the stars glistening up there.
In the stars, might we find escape
from all the bad bringing us despair?
Take somebody’s hand; forge a bond.
Know that death will not be your end.
There’s a world beyond the brightest stars
where there’s love you cannot comprehend.
Live in the now with gratitude
no matter the challenges that come.
As stars’ dust brings new life,
like those stars above you can become.
