I Touched A Star

 


I want to touch a star,

I want to travel far,

But something always holds me back 

From exploring the sky's starry track,

I sat in my room,

Brooding over a plan to escape 

But when I saw the moon,

I fell into a dreamy daze...


I was falling backwards,

Into the vast sky,

I fell out of Earth, 

And with great mirth 

I found that I WAS ABOVE THE SKY!!!!!


I saw the moon,

I saw the sun

I saw good Earth,

Oh, that was fun!

I saw Venus,

I saw old mars

I saw Saturn 

A saw loads far...


I flew, and I flew 

I flew through and through 

But I stopped mid-turn

'Cause I saw a bright thing 

I saw something I yearned 

I saw it flash and blink...


I wanted to touch a star,

And I did touch a star!

It's really not that far,

'Cause dreams are not that far

'Cause if you dream it,

You can do it,

And catch it,

And see?

To find dreams is not that easy 

But they will be if you DREAM

With your heart and yes,

You can touch a star!

    Shriyannn!!! Such a beautiful poem!!! You are so right in saying that if you really seek hard and really pursue your dreams , there’s nothing that you can’t achieve in this world !! The power of seeking is huge and it increases your chances of straining your dreams manifold! There’s a line from a book that I really hope you read when you grow up - it goes like this ‘ And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.’
    Your dream is a beautiful one , and with Almighty’s blessings and your dedication , you are sure to achieve all of them da kanna !!!

    Superb poem. I feel that you can dream again, for we can get another poem about stars. Sky is the limit for imagination. You can travel in space with a great pace to reach the sky and see see the world and Earth from there. But one thing you remember is that you have to accept the reality of life and lead a normal life, for that alone is practically possible. Imagination is like a sleep. Once you wake up you are going to carry out daily routine. All is for the good. Take it in the right way. Have a wonderful day.
    Be cheerful and have fun with your friends as it will change your mind. All is well if we are well.

Behind The Mask

  Behind the clouds  Is the hidden sky, so far, Behind the plasters, A nasty scar, Behind the curtains,  Are bright windows  But behind a mask - It is not for show. Not until you tumble into the trap,  Stay trapped there, in disguised gloom  Without realising it - And then go deeper and deeper  To discover what really looms. Then realisation strikes - How they behaved, how they feigned The hidden meaning behind every wave  You've found it. And the rage, You try to stifle it with much courage, But instead, burn down the page, And whoops - that leads you to your cage. But in the end, the mask is gone - To reveal an atrocity, so from it begone Don't explain, on its own will it dawn - Upon others, just the way it did on you - Ignore their every scorn. Just wait for their mask to be openly torn.

Eclipsed

  Moon:  I shine every night  Though, once a month, I take a break  But I'm seen regularly,  And it's not a big deal.  Few stop by  To marvel at me.  But what about the others -  Can they even see? And tonight is the night  A shadow shall be cast upon me  I hope no one notices -  My brief moments without glory.  Oh, but who am I kidding?  Of course, when I'm humiliated  In the vast night sky  Just me, and an eery shadow upon me  That  That is when the humans  Choose to gaze at me.  And then, to say I am weak And I'm always overruled by  The sun, and shadows, and clouds?  That is not fair.  But the truth that the moon does not know  Is that our little downfalls  Are what define us.  They're the little things that make us  Better - Perfection isn't a thing; but realism is.  Someone who is perfect cannot be likeable - But someone with flaws has more pe...

They

You know what they say, "Practice makes Perfect"?  You know how they say, "Let the past  Be the past"? You know how you feel Knowing something you're doing  Is not right, You know they're watching you ponder, You do, right? They stay around you, you meet them, see them Everyday, They can give glowing smiles, or uncanny looks Depending on the aura around you - Wherever you are, they are there  They are there everywhere. You might think you're alone, somewhere D eserted But you never are They're still there - And they are also probably the ones Who know you, better than you know  Yourself. They say confusing strings, There are lots of songs they sing, They have seen lots of things, There's something, which, to myself I'll always Think, It will either remain unanswered,  Or will be forgotten,  But I shall not think it will be addressed But nonetheless -  They cannot control  Everything you do  Even if the things they have said  Echo co...
