Midnight Clear

  

Everything has become clear

As the midnight sky,

Every star is a piece in the puzzle

 

         Each one a glimmer into my

                  Past, present or future.

 

Once upon a time

Hiding in the clouds of uncertainty

And the bright lights of the cities pain and misery

Now they shine brightly for infinity to see

As I look at it in a different light…

From the dark of this field clarity

Has become twenty-twenty vision.

 

Now the stars in my eyes

Guide the way through endless

Space of hopes and dreams.

Some connect to make out

The real me…

For caring eyes to gaze upon and see

There is more to me

Then a simple man with a flashlight.

 

In the end they may not have written my destiny

But with so many ablaze in my minds galaxy

The options are endless as the sky I keep my eyes fixed on.

Very inspirational.. I could really feel a sense of renewal and rebirth through this! Coming out of the darkness and finding a doorway leading to light... most people have this feeling at different times of life. It can be a very powerful and strong sense of finding yourself again.. each time stronger! Keep finding that passion.. and keep writing about it!!! =)

This was really pretty and full of hope and nostalgia. The stars get my mind to working like this too. Very nice job!

We are often perceived by others by the only experience we have with them, rather than the totality of who we are. It is great to hear a man's "voice" expressing this notion.

I loved this line: "Then a simple man with a flashlight". (should be Than.......smile)

Now this was simply amazing it flowed from a mystical source it seemed. It really feels like this one was inspired by something strong in you or something you feel very passionate about. It has that silky smooth touch to it. Excellent write

Your eyes were lost in the sky....sounds like the perfect place to be lost and let them wander for awhile!
I really miss having the time to lay on my car out in the country and star gaze. I will think of you next time I get the chance! Great read, thanks for sharing!
