The Star That You Are

Conceived in the wet womb of mystery
yet birthed into this limited existence
Your vulnerability so glaringly obvious
that thou art left far too fearful to cry
lest the salt of your tears be perceived as just seasoning
to those who wouldst devour your worthy essence

The sun of thy being radiates red hot
creating within thee a torturous thirst
for the moon's pale helplessness to halt the invasion
of shadows within thy seemingly lost soul

Thus here you find yourself being held captive
in the fleshy prison of your own longings
as the decaying bone marrow in your feet
propels you onward...seeking a short way home

Thy death and birth cries fill the cosmos with echoes
which will in eons furtherance burst into life anew
as the star that you are in vitro

    I think your poem is pure COSMICROSE & should stay just the way it is....a perfect work of art.

    This is a gorgeous write. The blackeness of space is a womb from the millions of cosmic bodies... stars are born and die... and each time one is born the possibility is that it may be a supernova... like our Sun... there is a possibility that lifeforms may emerge from that life as well. I find this poem to have deep underlying meanings. It's very smooth and I wouldn't change a word of it.

    Best wishes and s....~genielassie~

    This is so beautifully written and your background and picture only serve to enhance that...Your imagery is so calm and almost musical in the way that it lures you into the read...I feel that this piece is perfect as is and I wouldn't change a thing...To condense this would rip the very heart from its being.

    Each ornamental was planted for a particular effect and reason in the space of this write. For example... a wet womb is a fertile womb and life in the physical flesh does not take place without the element of water. There is an underlying flow of symbology throughout the write depicting the four elements (earth,wind,fire,water) of this physical realm in which we find ourselves. YET... what we are evolving into transcends these elements transforming into something SPIRITUALLY STELLAR.

    This is very nice work indeed and if I am any sort of judge- sadly for you I'm not, this should be looked upon as the classy and strengthening entry that it is- well done and good luck

    What divine poem you have penned Rose! I have to agree with every else, (Huffs! Dammit, I hate being like everyone else!) this is very captivating. It certainly has that calm, tranquil, serene feel of just floating on clouds and letting everything go. I am so proud of my sister wench! Good luck in the contest sweetie!

    Good Poem Rose; an excellent mixture of quantum timelines too; an exhortation to understand the interconnectedness not only of us all, but of all things!!

    That's what happens when one recognizes their own divinity... it gifts one with the perverbial "Peace That Paseth All Understanding" So it is written... so mote it be. Thank you for your delightful commentary indeed

    Wow... sigh. This was so beautiful. It just radiated loveliness from every angle in every way. You have some definitely talent all your own girl. And you know... that background is really quite hypnotizing. lol. Makes me feel all serene just like the words of your poem do. Serene just doesn't happen often for me, so kudos to you for succeeding at what many fail at. lol. Lovely work. Truly beautiful.
