The Stars ... They Shine For You and I

The Stars ... They Shine For You and I

A Poem by Einstein Noodle
"

KWP invited me into this endeavor .. we tried to keep stars as metaphor throughout and incorporate the five tenants of Japanese Philosophy and Martial Arts .. Wind, Water, Fire, Earth and Void ..

"
the stars they died for you and me

within the deepest inhalation 
we may catch the heart of all the stars

swept along in camouflaged breezes - 
a rascal no less creating a stir 
wind is nature's cheeky commotion 
steadily gifting free rides to 
tango-loving gypsy stardust

rising shores a trillion drops deep
quenching the thirst of existence 
pellucid water pulsing pink across ancient coral
bursting stars, dust and billow 
emancipated in ripples wave


i see the all within your face
reds, blues, greens and silver 
colors draining back to the depths
and yet 

gusting flames echo in reflection 
invitation of heated caresses from your eyes 
cinder and ash orbit within your sparkle
fire long since burnt out endures
serving only to bless you, bless me

incarnate star 
offering essence eternal ....
found as in youth
poking sticks under rocks 
prodding tongues of Christmas Beetles
down in the land where 
wild mushrooms grow and
musk in blackest earth 
among apples, acorns, rocks and Hickory trees

the intricate interlace of now 
coalesces elements
beloved stardust entrusted 
us our absolute 

miraculous star
born from a vacuous space

we are the miracle 
within the star 
pacing its ebb and flow and
always in unity


collaboration between E. and KWP

A vast idea and wider view with your poem here, fellas. you know the sun is a star too, couldn't imagine that star dying for me, wouldn't want that. I usually feel Einstein noodle's poetry - most likely because it's honest and personal, this had two pens, both heading in divergent directions. The words are there, but I couldn't feel to believe it. Its a decent piece, don't get me wrong or take it personally, I've read better from Einstein...

Poem, like the stars, burns brightly.
Just realised the collab was on 2015.
That shows you the dimension of time. A bit like your poem. Existence for humans can be a precarious journey at times. But we all do our bit in the world to make it that way. Might be time for part 2 now. Well done both of yous.

Love your collaboration full of imagery that sings with dynamic word choices. Being a more orderly thinker, I like the structure here & the way you blend the ideas & carry the themes thru-out with a ton of originality & uninhibited description (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

This is one of the best things I've ever read, and I only read it once. I write about a lot of the subjects in this piece and I feel I have a similar style. Whether or not you accept my friend request, I will be coming back to your work for inspiration. Thank you for sharing your mind

There is magic in the stars, they tell us so, even when hidden... and your 'togetherness' is as magical. What a smooth movement, one to the other, not a gasp or blink to separate your thinking. This really is one of the finest collarations i've read in eight years or so in the Cafe.

Somehow you've clambered over all the debris up there and found only the beauty, the near silence of out there, the untouchable that surrounds... and so forth... so many thoughts growing inside me.. tis beautiful.
