Premium Member Fallen Star

In the heavens above on any given day
Countless stars are born to blaze the skies
Trillions speak their truth through verse and song
As they praise, inspire and light the path
Fallen star brings joy he twinkles and shines 
Both Man and creature in wonderment gaze

In the middle of the winter of ‘78 
Formed and fashioned in love by the Master’s hands
The young star set forth toward his destiny 
‘cross millions of galaxies constellations far 
Reaching earth’s galaxy along the Milky Way
To add brilliance and illuminate our world

This perilous journey he was called to make
Proved daunting too complex to accomplish alone
Distracted by forces beyond his strength 
He strayed and fell as countless before 
Anger and pride as companions he chose 
Would retard his progress yet for a while

The Master keeping watch over his universe 
Saw the young star unguided he stumbled he fell
God projected his will providing another way out
In wisdom with calm resolution he allowed him to fall
Through the fire refined like silver and gold
Preparation confirmed the journey to complete

There’s a new day coming just over the horizon 
When Fallen star will arise fired and strong 
In the interim all plans are made fool proof 
Tools are honed cleaned and sharpened 
For this journey a lifetime to make
Fallen star aims high to blaze the skies

What is the main difference
between the life time of a star
and your personal trauma history?

Could it be for you,
as for me?

How long we take
to get from regenerative beginnings
in dark caved 
holy 
humble 
BlackHole wombs
to degenerative desecrations

And more therapeutic inside/outside 
resonantly peaceful 
light empowering balanced ends
that snugly fit bigendered means
for cooperative kindness.

What is your main difference
between personal liberation
from inside traumatic deliberation
and outside avoiding condemnation?

At all inhibiting costs to Self
prohibitive costs to Others
disposable property costs to sacred MotherTrees
and other indigenous
sentient
residential non-taxpayers

Not to become confused
with Trumpian
"Vengeance is StraightWhiteMaleCapitalist Mine!!!"
All AnthroSupreme Mine!!!!!!!!!
which is the white privileged noise
of a NON-indigenous
parasitic 
residential non-taxpayer

Who does not know the main difference
between the life time of a star
and His monotheistic personal trauma 
degenerative BlackHole 
reverse of predative 
Great Flash FatherStar history.

My Shining Star

I am going to heaven today to buy a star; my friends asked why I just do not buy a car.
I tell them I have to go to get a star for the one I love so I will always see him when I look 
above. 

He is very ill and will leave me soon, where he will fly and soar around the moon.
I will name his star “my heart” because when I look up at night I know we will never really 
be too far apart.


A Man

They fed him the word of God,
"To make you good," they said.
He spat it back at them;
Their faces were all red.

They shouted the word of God,
"To lead you true!" they said.
He opened his mouth and sang,
"I walk alone till I'm dead."

And he walked alone through Time,
And he rode alone through Space,
And the light of a godless rhyme
Shone as the sun on his face:

"From star to star I stride,
From God's to Manhood's height;
Strange worlds on either side
Touch me with a wondering light.

"I wave them a happy hand
And they sing out with glee,
'He's Man!  He's in command!
He sets his great soul free!'

I mount with my ship the sky,
I'll go where I think I can;
I follow my mind till I die,
From beginning to end a man.
