Truly

*Compiled* by: the iHope Poet

Would you scale the highest heaven?

Star people are rare, you’ll be lucky to meet another -

Can you hear it?

Can you see it? 

Some people think the stars must look closer from up here. 

But if men only understood --

They don’t. 

When you’re up here, you realize how distant they really are. 

How impossible to reach. 

I see them gaze upon distant skies of ideals inaccessible and vain

Star of wisdom once told the wise ones,
 Heavenward looking,

Sometimes the stars are lost,

Lost as a light is lost in light.

You must truly look. 

So I am.

I’m lying here wistfully

Looking up at the stars

And knowing how and knowing that,

Has made all the difference.
