Hi, I've been inspired by @JustinSane 's poetry thread and thought I'd share one of my old poems. I don't Think I've posted this before. If I have, apologies for the repetition. I hope it speaks to someone 🙂

Nightfall

Twilight sprays across the window

Clouds reflect on the dimming day

Lunar leaves litter a meadow

The infant night now begins play

Ancient lights shine on our faces

Stars long burst still fill the dark sky

Timeless points set in their places

Proof once for all: we do not die

-

My veins swell along with the seas

My blood flows strong, drawn by the moon

My heart beats faster as time slides

From the clock's grasp in a soft swoon

--

Rest is nigh, then comes a new dawn

May our dreams last beyond its break!

Love will rise as the sun is born

With renewed hope for all Life's sake

This is beautiful @StuF thank you so much for sharing it with the community ❤️ 

This part really resonated with me

Love will rise as the sun is born

With renewed hope for all Life's sake

Thank you ❤️

@StuF That's kind of mind-blowing when you think about it. If someone was 1000 lightyears away looking through a telescope at the earth, I would be alive in what they are viewing but I would have been long dead here.. 

What an interesting poem. 

[StuF]

Yeah, @AussieRecharger 

Our minds (well certainly mine at least) can't do justice to the comprehension of the vastness of time and space...

Glad you found it interesting 🙂
