Release

Remembering...

I remember the stars
And their delicate sheen
If only as a distant memory

My glittering gateways
Pulling me up into the lighted dark of the night
Shedding the remains of a remote realm

As I walked through a dream
With the soft silence of the night
Each passing moment, I was
Cautious of my escape into the unknown
And of the unwanted intruders

Hushed up melodies found their escape,
As did I
In a trance, I lived my life
Once, twice, as many times as I could
Orbiting the forgotten present
Challenging destinies
I was everything
As everything was me

I remember the stars
And their delicate sheen
If only as a distant memory
A wish away from bliss

Great use of the word"escape". I could feel the longing and memories in the words. I like the flow of thoughts and the very good ending. So many lines stood out in this outstanding poem.

I think i am somewhat relating to this now. I'm coming to a point where i have to make some decisions in my "reality" but the way i want it to turn out i'm sure will end up being "fantasy" and i'll just have to let go accept the reality for what it is.

I bask in the wake of this write. It has a effect that really pulls this reader in. I am not sure if it is just my frame of mind or what but at any rate this was good.

A heartfelt and touching piece of soul-searching release. Nicely done!

Keep writing
