Skating to the Stars

When one skates to the stars
with feet called to wait on the sunrise,
it is said their hearts are hungry
for the dreams full of love
to return again.  
The taste of this hunger
travels with them
into the darkness full of stars
and stirs every sunset
they see
in their domain.

Sometimes this makes one feel
like running away
to erase the past and all pleasures
which made them feel complete
each and every morning.
Still, they know,
love will continue as part of those dreams.
So they skate
to the stars,
to see
what a new sunset
brings.

Just wanted to write something new to bring the new year in.

I do love the connection in this, as you make visual the universe, and bond it to love.
That is very special. I find it very zen too, as days and nights, return, and all in the universe turns around, and around for ages.... it's a perfect life's pattern, and you penned it so wonderous. Thank you sweet soul sister.

this was pretty, and i loved the theme you chose for this one! The theme of the stars and outer space and how it can relate to the topic of love in a lot of ways, because it can seem endless, it can seem like it can go on forever, it can seem like be symbolic of everything a relationship has went through, it can mean a lot of things! Great job!

I liked this poem very much. It has a more direct feel than some of your poetry. This is not criticism. Simply an observation on style. An occasional change of style simply serves to contrast your poems.

I had to re-read the first lines a time or two...as the poem shifted from 'one' to 'they'. Once considered I got it. It is observational. 'One must take care otherwise they will step on glass' etc.
