tonight i'll leave the world
and run up to the moon
into a darker night,
to burn away...
i'll be brightly splendid orange,
a star standing atop a hill,
falling down
on its face...
i'll throw a black flag of smoke
into the pale yellow skies of dawn,
all that's left of me played with by a breeze
that spins around in circles
like a child on top of a hill
if i fall too hard i will not cry...
and tomorrow,
laughing again,
i will play
in the sun

" all that's left of me played with by a breeze ...

That has some power there. I really like the images I get here. When you get there ... bark at the dark side for me as well ... Mom says I can't come out and play tonight !!! LOL

You have a way about you Mothy, and it breathes in your words.
Nice job.

| You are really depressing me. You write with so much behind your words it hits me in the face and the heart. So I ask you this, can I come? |

Oh.. this is so.. uh..a word for sad, that isn't sad?
Ok, seriously, what's up?
This is an amazing write, you have used a stunning metaphor here, I love the thought of running to the moon, and it is a thought that has crossed my mind before, but you've written it better than I could.
I hope you are OK, but if you need to chat you know where to find me,

What a sad write, whats up Ghosty?
This was depressing and yet you really did an excellent job on composing this.
You really are a talented poet, keep up the good work handsome.

I was wondrously surprised to have read such a lovely poem.
Now I want to play in the sun.
As I read it a second time, I read it aloud. It sounded so pleasant and it is a gorgeous poem.

I really like this. It's full of so much emotion.
Hope and despair at the same time.
These lines were really good:
"i'll throw a black flag of smoke
into the pale yellow skies of dawn,
all that's left of me played with by a breeze
that spins around in circles" |

I'm not sure if I missed something here, but I didn't find this
depressing. Maybe I AM missing something, but I liked it
very much. Your imagery is astounding Ghosty. But then, it
always was. Well done. I can't wait to read more!
