Girl.
I’m the girl who wonders
if she truly has stars beneath her skin
or if she’d spend her entire life
setting off fireworks into daylight
no spark, no shine
the sky
dotted by the clouds left behind
unable to answer the explosive questions
that fill her dazed mind
God.
who am I?
I am a girl who has a heart that yearns for a soul
for loss of control
to scream at the seas for a reason to be
who is He?
they say only when you’re engulfed in darkness
can you see beyond the trees
so I stand at the edge of the known world
in the night
climb onto the highest branch
look towards the horizon
for blessed light
and can’t imagine anything existing
beyond my limited sight

Wo, really great. i have been experimenting with micropoetry lately [whole lot of meaning crammed into a whole few of words] and think i have a long way to go before i really get it, but it’s just been great to be writing again – i love both of these and feel like you have a special gift with the last line climax of the poem – definitely builds to a peak.
Thanks for sharing
love brett fish

no I did not!
unfortunately, I am not an artist. I used to keep pictures I liked stored on my computer, including this one. I have no idea who I should be acknowledging for it but I agree that it’s so beautiful ^_^
