Stars

Hey everyone! So I started class this week and have still to get used to the work load... So this is a poem I wrote when I first came to Hanover, inspired by the sky when I was walking back to the dorm one night. Enjoy!

Stars are such a godly feat
For looking at them takes respect,
But not to simply circumspect,
Take them in like quiet sleet.
Take them standing on the street.

Their icy sheen may be remote,
In distant caverns of our time,
Far from reason, close to rhyme.
And in between my feet and throat,
My heart beats in a broken rote.

The trembles that the world can feel
Cannot be sensed by distant eyes,
For they have more to visualize,
More to press and more to heal,
Tucked away in space-less steel.

But they are numerous and far,
And I will never see them all,
Each their names I will not call.
But in its stream of glistening mar,
Nothing compares to a star.
