Lights, Camera, Action

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

star

    1. One just needs to keep growing, keep glowing

  2. Perhaps a consideration might be NOT giving up and going back, but turning to a new direction and continuing forward!!

  3. I 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.

  5. Wonderful message to take in and let the worries fall away. Favorite line: "be who you are until the lights go out"

    I'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."

  9. Like Lisa, this line resonates for me: 'be who you are until the lights go out' - definitely a message for all of us.

  10. Same route, different paths as "Dancing with the Stars." I missed most of the latter last night, won't happen again, I set the VCR to record all episodes.
