Lucy’s star

December 21, 2021 ~ sensualism

It cannot be
that I can see
what others try to hide

I will not let
that I’ll upset
until you lie beside

For what is far
and far beyond
tomorrow claims to be

Today I feign
for what I aim
is lucid in my dreams

Gaze toward the 
far horizon – 
I hear the others say

Yet no matter what
the future holds
start living day to day

Yesterday is
but regret that’s
left behind as well

Tomorrow is
but fiction now - 
a story yet to tell

It cannot be
that I can feel
what others leave behind

Lucy’s star in sky - 
with diamonds now - 
is where I stand beside.

With my head in the sky and my wings in the air, I try to spend my spare time at the footy (AFL in Australia) Go Pies! – and valuable hours with family and friends. Otherwise I’ll have pen in hand and notebook at the ready for those insightful snippets that dream up a poem. I contribute to Cosmofunnel where you’ll find a guided universe of poetry and art.
