The Sunday Muse |
On the stage of life
he was destined to be a star
a man with a heartfelt dream
if only the clouds would disappear
but, stars need time to grow
from a nebula to a supernova
the path to fullness is unknown
trying to set an atmospheric scene
perfection is difficult to obtain
in the blue tinted spotlight
hoping the audience sees his brilliance
exhausted, his weathered soles weary
how to move forward in the journey
searching for a new direction
perhaps, the answer is emitting a glow
stop worrying about filling all the seats
sometimes, inner radiance needs to shine
stargazers will notice a naturalist blaze
tomorrow is a new act, not yet written
through the lens create your own magic
whether an average star or a massive star
be who you are until the lights go out
when the final curtain falls, take your bow
as a shooting star soars across the sky
stargazers will clap with delight
for they were touched
by
a
star

DeleteI love the wisdom in "stars need time to grow" and to forget fame and shine with one's own light. That's the kind of light that touches others. I love this, True.

ReplyDeleteMyrna, thank you so kind of you to say.
DeleteWonderful message to take in and let the worries fall away. Favorite line: "be who you are until the lights go out"
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you have seen this one before:
"Be who you is and not who you ain't
because if who ain't who you is,
you is who you ain't."
Shine and embrace you own light always...
