For those that still love poetry...

Post by Kaylawallace523 »

I was starting to think poetry was a dead art. I write poetry. To be more presice, lines of poetry or prose appear in my head and I write them down. It's a natural talent, but my only one. What a waste.
At least some of you might enjoy them! I wrote this last night.
Star Dust

We are the reincarnation
Of dead stars.

With eyes and minds,
That we may witness
The awe of creation.
That we may study
The intricacies of the cosmos.

We are the mirror,
The universe uses
To admire
Itself.

This made me think of the cosmos and the endlessness of entropy and creation, aside from the obvious imagery I mean. Excellent work.

This made me think of the lyrics to EXO's Cosmic Railway. It's beautiful.
