Twinkling Stars


From looking down, you look up to see,

The sky is full of billions of stars,

Some are faint, Some are bright.

Then there are those that twinkle and shine,

Ones that turn your head, that make you gasp for air,

You look through your telescope,

You gaze, to find something more than a star.

An unknown universe,

Spectacular, magnificent, just brilliant,

Planets of green, comets of golden fire,

A nebula of neon, a sun of warmth.

And you wonder, if in that same universe,

Through a telescope, they look at you,

Wondering if you will come far, To dash, to fly to their twinkling star.

BeardedPoet

I'm an aspiring poet from the small town of Newbury Park. I'm currently in my graduating year of high school and was first inspired to write by the movie "Dead Poets Society". My favorite poets are Dylan Thomas and Christopher Poindexter. I have all of my poems documented on Hellopoetry.com and on my Instagram @wise_man_poetry. I mostly write free verse about my experiences and interpretations of my surroundings. I'm greatly inspired by human behavior and nature. I hope to publish a book of my collected poems in the future.
