The Stars ... They Shine For You and I

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

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...

thanks for your honest thoughts and interesting that you say what you did - whislt we were working together we each both our own interpretations of how we saw it had been written to that point - and althoght or wording was different the same 'cycle of life' theme was present ...

sorry it didn't do it for you bud - it was nonetheless fabulous time spent with my friend XXX

Much LOve X

oh and the sun will die one day ... but by then you probably won't be looking at it with simplistic human vision :) XXXXX

thank you sir ..for your honest review ..much appreciated .. sorry that this one did not reach you .. it is a vast idea as you say .. with small points of human focus ... face eyes you and me for example .. but it is the idea of the miracle within the stars ... at one with each individual .. and all the elements coalescing in the "now" ... :) perhaps if you come back and read again it would help ... thank you very much for taking time .. this was such a treat to work on with KWP ... love love love and peace
