Stars Splash

The sea had climbed the mountain peaks, And shouted to the stars To come to play: and down they came Splashing in happy wars. Gilbert Chesterton Stars Splash Fire and water cancel one another And I am flesh in the splash of elements not worn down by centuries but able to soar the stars Earth and wind will claim me Scatter me on the sea dying for a war cell by cell When all that is gone battle by battle Then will I be free? Where seas, fountain once more, through a rain of stars. Suzanne Delaney

Hi Su I like the use of figurative language in your poem. It is as if the sea and water and all the elements mentioned in this piece take on a complete human form. A very nice poem.

Yes, Suz-D, Earth and wind will claim you for they have created you but there is something more superior in you that no element can take it away: YOUR SOUL! Yes, free will you be once every cell of yours dies away BUT alive you will remain! Thoughtful and thought-provoking poem! Thank you!
