Open Up The Sky

Please open up the sky,
and let me fall into the void,
left behind by all the stars.

Let the moon stand guard against the sun,
and never show another day,
I need no light to lead my way,
just let me sit here in the dark,

then when I cry no one will see,
and I will think a while...
just my night, and me.

Oh Sweetie!!! (I can see why you wanted to use the Emerson quote-- very befitting)

I'm so glad to be reading another new piece by you. And this is a perfect lostinmyself write, if you know
what I mean. There is melancholy in this, but I do not feel sad. Somehow there is solace in the night, even if it
encounters tears, you know? I can't tell you how impressed I am with your work, (each and every time) and
if you only knew how many times, "gosh! I wish I'd written that" crosses my lips, you'd be amazed!

This is so powerful for so brief a write. Sometimes I believe the brevity of a write is what MAKES it stand
out. It is forced to impress the reader sooner and with more impact. Your work is always a sensational read.
Regardless of genre or sentiment. And I look forward to them with genuine enthusiasm. THIS piece, is why.

Remarkable sweets. As always and exactly what I come to expect from you every time.

loves you

*hugs*

~ Breezy

I love this poem, I can get a vivid picture
and I think that every poem to be
good should be vivid and this one certainly is!
It feels like a fresh starry night!

Though I may be far away and the night is dark, still I can hear the sobbing, and it echoes...
Beautifully done sis.

I know exactly what you mean! My ocean, the way I lose myself in the waves, the rain, the tides, the crashing water. Your night is my ocean.
I really don't know what else to say to that, just that, with a grin, I know what you mean.
Take care you.
David

This is a very beautiful write and i feel this way myself, cursing the sun for shining when all I want is darkness. Awesome job!

You walk in beauty, like the night.

I love this poem, because I see you in it. It's a lovely, emotive piece that lives and breathes...

So you sit, and think a while. I'll watch you.

Love,
~dawn

Wow!. I really like the way this is written. Short yet powerful with emotion and really great imagery....very visual emotions if that makes sense. Some sadness within this write and yet comfort while you take your thoughts in by yourself. Everyone needs a little alone time.

Take care and thank you for sharing this with us. You are a great poetess.
