.
viewing life 
     through    the    fingers 
          of a facepalm  

an unhealthy 
     obsession 
to broaden the mind
     with the
          help from social media
jumbled up in jargon
     no more useful than a Word of the Day:
     excire:  (n) meaning exhilaration and desire
—or—
whenever …   

bombarded with unrelated 
          f.a.c.t.s
as pertinent as
     school level algebra 
          the mind’s  ‘nothing box’ 
teaming with possibilities
	inexpressible
        visions dancing to an inaudible jukebox
a child’s 
          toy 
                kaleidoscope

               charting the stars 
given way to ‘Stars Foretell’  
   how we should feel 
   and think

          nowadays 

     by naming the planets
          the stardust
the very essence of existence 
     we escape categorisation

life views back at me
	through the cosmic lens
              of perceptions:

starlight eyes
of
hope
     shines …

Dear Suzette, This is such a deep and intriguing poem, so thought provoking, and i love the way youv presented your word weaving in such an artistic manner and what youv expressed with such brilliant metaphors in such a creative flow! I especially loved the lines "by naming the planets the stardust the very essence of existence we escape categorisation" that resonates with me, and sometimes it is an escape much needed too. The depth of what youv conveyed here is truly impressive! Pleasure reading you today! Sending you light always
