Poetry- Among the Stars

We walk along the bottom
Looking up from where we are
Up seems so distant
Somewhere among the stars
And dream of better..
Better days
Better ways
Better thoughts…
Tired from the battles
In this world
we’ve fought
And we stumble
here and there
Searching
Everywhere
For answers that elude
Reasons why,
answers for meaning,
clarity in truth
We assume
it’s out of our reach
Beyond our dream
Further than our eyes
Dare to see
Do we have the means
To escape?
To leave this desert place.
To climb and climb,
From fear to trust
We move to gain.
Beyond the valley
Beyond the shame.
And we rise.
From down below,
Where once we stood
We now know
Walk from where we are
As we climb to reach
Somewhere among the stars

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
