Star

.. I

fly with you 

my wind of songs

and kiss the night..

sad darkness light..

the loneliness fate

flys.. shining far

to die a star

a careless 

star...

Author's Note

"Fly with you / my wind of songs" - overcoming the gravity of everyday life, "Kiss the night" - touching the mystery of existence, "The loneliness fate / flys.. shining far" is not a curse, but a source of light "shining far".. "To die a star / a careless star": to create, giving all the light, where carelessness is freedom from the fear of death, the star doesn't care what burns; the purpose is to shine.. everything will end sometime.. "Sad darkness light" is an inspiration.. of melancholy... transformation.. into the pure energy of creativity

[Fabian G. Franklin]

A love or love lost poem as so many are. As for dying a careless star, I'd have to agree with Jack on this one, "I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." Jack London

I’m not even lying, there’s something special about your words. It gives this strangely beautiful feeling that sends chills. I swear I’m not exaggerating. Maybe it’s just me, but… wow. I don’t even have words. I don’t think most people would find such short poetry this deep, but I do for some reason even though it's the second poem
I read of yours and yet it gave me chills in the best way. I don't even need to appreciate your writing. I think my words alone would be enough for you to acknowledge your own potential and skills. Your poem, star.. just the word alone... holds meanings far deeper than the human mind could imagine it we look at it in a philosophical way.
Thank you for sharing this piece with us!

That could be the saddest yet most beautiful example of isolation, 'a careless star..' indeed, in deed.

[Nick Fatum]

Trying to do just that but have a birthday event here, late Sunday afternoon in the garden - so a little busy and is very hot! Maybe I'll wish up that star.

Reality in the every day is knowing how to live it.

[emmajoygreen]

Each star has a name and wandering place just as a human being has: the difference between the two is that the star is ever beautiful, the human at worst - jealous, at best - envious.

To me the closing lines: "to die a star / a careless star…" carry a melancholic weight—that of resignation wrapped in cosmic wonder. It is as if the Universe itself watches over us, indifferent yet radiant. Thank you for sharing this piece; it abides, like a star flickering on the edge of memory. 🕊️

It's like the lyrics to a ballad song, wonderful poetry!

[Nick Fatum]

Thank you for the comment, James!

[Tina Fly]

Wow.. very precise, concise and imaginative formulations
self-reflection of the tragic worldview of a genuine man of art, as a strange and alienated talent who feels the world around him much deeper, sharper and more painful than the average person, who usually "plays" art as a means of self-affirmation, psychotherapy and banal entertainment..
and the image of a comet flying in the giant darkness.. emphasizes the main message of the verse. Thank you for posting!

[Nick Fatum]

No words, Tina.. thank you!

[Tina Fly]

Thank You, Nick.
