i stand in awe


I stand staring up In awe I look Mouth gapping to breath in the taste of their voice Dizzying my self with the constellations of their rhymes In awe I stand Of the vast Darkness Space enough between their lines to fit an eternity of feelings Light years connected By interpretations Projected into the night Sky This dark expanse That turns desires in to dreams And dreams into reality As the sky burns red and the sun Rises Too soon Too great For the preservation of fantasies But in poetry we remember them Our wild journeys of flight Our deep recession of memory So deep we Forget to breathe in the night Only through these words on paper Do we truly remember, Connect, And embark On this minds journey In search of its greatest question

My favorite lines of this poem are "This dark expanse / That turns desires in to dreams / And dreams into reality" because it adds to the fantastic, mystical vibe of this story. Great work! If you are interested in writing about dreams, go check out tips for how to do so in the "resources" section of the site under "poetry writing tips!"
