Best Star Of The Show Poems


Star of the Show

Narrate you own life's story
and tell you own life's tale
Don't leave it up for grabs
or even up for sale!

Write down your own life's story
before the others do
Wading through words and phrases
that aren't remotely true...

Plan out your own life's story
before it's done for you-
and you're stuck acting out a life
that you despise and rue.

Plot out your own life's story
or at least, Act Two (or Three)
Rewrite your script, if needed
to set your spirit free!

Dress yourself with color
costume yourself with care
Create the character you want to be
and strut with catwalk flair!

Design and build your life's stage
or at least, rearrange the props
and play your role with moxie
not caring if it flops...

Create your own life's story
as producer, director, star-
and then kick back & enjoy the show
no matter how bizarre!

Be your own show's critic
ignoring all other reviews
Lavish your life with praise
acknowledging cast and crew.

Become your very own fan club
awaiting each scene of your day
Taking joy in each thoughtful detail
of your glorious, quirky play!

'star' of the Show

The star of the show dances around, the black carpeted stage,
Surrounding her as she,
Closes her eyes and moves with such agile steps, 
It makes the other stars stare in awe. 
The lights dim out as she smiles such a white smile, 
it practically sparkles through the dark. 
Her white dress flows behind her as she lifts a leg, then 
Twirls on her leg, defying the physical law. 

The woman, Halley is her name? Such a beautiful name for her, 
A young maiden with such talent, 
As she orbits the stage, twirling and leaping in the air with such speed, 
Light years would be put to shame. 
She doesn’t need any lights, she’s already bright enough, 
Her skin shining brighter than any light, 
But as she dances the night away, this star of the show, 
Didn’t want the money, showing her face was her only aim. 

But this woman isn’t really a star, is she? 
The people watching aren’t really stars, are they? 
Even the stage isn’t a stage at all! 
If you’re just realizing it, this poem may seem a little mad to you. 
Think about the real night sky,
The “stars” that sit there in the black “stage”, watching the real show. 
Halley’s comet, though it was a short show that passed by,
She just wanted to be noticed as her body passed through.

Star of the Show Part 3

The universe and all of it's inhabitants therein, i.e. the galaxies, stars, suns, solar systems,
the planets, Basically everything that is or ever will be, represent life outside the box of
this reality...The universe is a fiercely chaotic place outside of our grasp of fully
understanding for good reason, but a truly wondrous place infinite in it's mysteries and
secrets, symbolic to Go... The physical contents that make up its galaxies are
constructed of knowledge of the universe and its' secrets awaiting discovery; the path of
illumination inspires conscious evolution. God creatively engineered everything that is
and ever will be, including mankind is his IMAGE...I imagine that he gifted each of us
with a part of the same potentials and abilities he might possess.
Imagine for a moment that physical reality is gods worldly dream in which we are each
inhabitants designed in his image, the creator is dreaming that the inhabitants of his
dream are beginning to awaken on his plane of reality as new galaxies and solar systems
are born throughout the universe, they begin individually dreaming up creations on their
own and in their image...We ultimately awaken to the idea that we each play a key role
in the creative process of the evolution of mankind and the universe...
What would your dream be like? What role do you play in yours? What do the
inhabitants of your dreams look like? How do its' inhabitants go about their daily lives?
What do its' lands and oceans look like? How advanced is their knowledge?
Within your dreams it is wise to keep in mind that the inhabitants of your dreams are but
mirror images of you, just as surely as we are but reflections of our creator, each
containing bits and pieces of the universal wisdom and values that we have obtained
throughout our lives, artistically enco ded within the minds matrix of knowledge by which
we are all connected... to realize our role in another's existence in this lifetime is in my opinion second to understanding the
role we play within our own!


Star of the Show Part 1

The scientific translation of a star is a sphere of gas held together by its own gravity.
Symbolically tome, a stars gravity is symbolic to ones perception of self and the sphere
of gas represents ones wisdom acquired throughout the path toward enlightenment...
To me, the Creation of a star is symbolic to that of a child here on earth. Overtime, they
both similarly evolve from the beginning stages of conception, into an embryo or nebula
and so on until a child or star is born... This works similarly in every living creation on
earth, regardless of species. Eventually stars birth planets of their own, just as most
Human Beings give birth to children of a similar image and likeness as their parents.
Some do not give birth in this lifetime and just as in the cosmos they are here to assist
others in raising their children or in support of their galaxy and that element in this
existence is crucial to the evolution of mankind and the universe.
There are as many Humans on planet Earth, as there are stars in the sky visible at any
given moment in time. Individually, we each represent one of these stars... Only when
the highest levels of personal evolution of mind in search of nirvana in this reality is
reached, it is my belief that we are given knowledge of this and we then consciously
focus inward to design it in our personal god given image.

Star of the Show Part 4

I feel like it's about time for us get back to our roots and realize that we are born of the same elements that
make up the universe, we are each a star in another dimension of reality...here on earth
we exist to teach each other and learn the fundamentals of coexistence and selflessness
among other species and inhabitants, the further along the path we evolve spiritually the
further we develop the wisdom and consciousness in that of our own cosmic kingdom...
The stars are enlightened souls past and present, angelic beings of light illuminated by a
force in disguise of the divine creators design.  We are born of the essence of the universe...Our DNA is intertwined with the very
elements that make up its vast galaxies and heavenly stars...All who reach for the stars
are sure to have somewhere to dwell for the rest of eternity as enlightened celestial beings.

Star of the Show Part 2

Every star is a sun, most suns have planets in orbit around them, Each planet has a
varying species of inhabitants...We can not see these inhabitants because they're
vibrating at a much higher frequency then we currently do here on earth, Thus inspiring
us to pursue our dreams and continue to look to the skies for answers, forever evolving
the mind of mortal man. While confined to this dimension of existence, we are not given
knowledge of this, until we have personally evolved along the path enough to conceive
this radical theory a reality. Our conception of what it means to be alive in this dimension
of reality is simply a matter of man's evolution, both individually and universally!
The Earths Oceans assist in forming what make up each individual body of land they
surround. It is my belief that the ocean was creatively designed into existence by the
creator to symbolize human emotion and the land we walk across symbolizes our
"physical" bodies. Emotions are the drive that makes us who we are and who we are as
individuals is based on our beliefs as to what life is and why we exist in this reality.
Every body of land is created unique in its shape and size; each inhabitant therein is
entitled to their own unique system of beliefs and freedom to believe in whatever they so
choose.
Symbolically to me, DNA and everything that it embodies makes up our physical body
representing a star and whatever elements it is that makes it up... Each planet in orbit
around it represent a different extension off the core structure that is our mind... Out of
mind we consciously create the illusion of embodiment... Our physical being to me, is
symbolic to a solar system in and of itself...Only the mastery of love and selflessness can
truly set us free from this particular plain of reality

The absolute ultimate star of the show is here today, 
And ready to go, so sit down, please stay.
She has words to say, a lot to impart.
So get ready, for she speaks from her heart.

She is in a wheelchair, has been since 1999.
Her life was changed that day, in a way un-sublime.
She was thrown out of a moving car, herself to blame.
Her back promptly snapped, her life never the same.

I wish I had worn my seatbelt, she told us all, with strife.
An easy fix that would have saved her this different kind of life.
She is at others’ mercy to get out of bed, has been since 1999.
She said she has a completely different kind of life, a harder kind.

The children were fascinated, as they heard her story, that dear.
There was barely a peep, and there were over a hundred and twenty in here.
The star and another lady showed them a film, and explained more too.
They begged these children to wear seatbelts, no matter what they do.

They did a great job, these presenters, these two.
They scared us all a bit, for that is what they do.
Their program is called Think First, these women who care.
They come for free, and they do a great job. Our children did stare.

We left that room, thinking loud and clear.
We left that room, all feeling life is a little more dear.
She said she was lucky, the star of the show.
But we were the lucky ones, now, and we know….
