Line Gauthier Poet Rhyme

You Are the Milky Way

Each night I peruse the sky
Tilt my head way up high
Count the stars here and nigh
As if secrets to demystify
My heart it seeks to pacify

I search beyond each constellation
When sense in my heart primal agitation
And my pulse beats with acceleration
Because it’s there, the object of my aspiration

Right there before my eyes, my heart do console
I get to see you and talk to you as I stroll
Because I’ve recognized your essence, your soul

Larger than life, looking down on me, glory be
I still feel, though now angel-like, you embracing me

There is life after death, you are the Milky Way

Elated, I feel light and serene as a heavenly butterfly
Seek no further answers or dare question divination
Blissfully content to finally feel whole
Knowing you are here and there to perpetuity
Because there is life after death, you are the Milky Way

Andrea Dietrich April 15, 2018 at 8:06 PM I am trying to recall what I entered for this one. Maybe the winner list was small since I see no congrats underneath this one. I think your take was very original, Line. To imagine life as the Milky Way. This is great creativity. Line Gauthier April 15, 2018 at 9:05 PM No, Gregory said people asked him to extend the deadline so it still has not been judged.

Pandita Sietesantos February 10, 2018 at 10:31 AM WOW! I am learning a lot from you! Your enviable talent shines in all your works! Excellent entry in Greg's contest! Good luck, my friend! Hugs. Pandita. Line Gauthier February 10, 2018 at 10:36 AM You are TOO kind, Pandita. Thank you for your praise though I'm not sure how much is warranted. I'll take it to balance with the unwarranted crap I may get from elsewhere. LOL
