Stargazing

(For Poetry Train’s “Manic Monday”)

Stargazing

These lines respond to a highly caffeinated, and oft-debated question. Can you figure it out?

The world unseen

And in-between

Is much more real

Than what we mean.

We walk around

With every sound,

But do we hear

Beneath the ground?

What goings-on

We tread upon,

But unaware,

We hurry on.

And far above,

Are currents of

What most we seek,

The highest love.

A star may fall

And seem to call

Both ear and eye,

But that's not all.

If we but once,

Would leave our hunts,

And simply wait,

We'd stop our stunts.

The answer waits;

It resonates,

But we must see

Beyond the gates.
