Hmmm... *cough* I may have been inspired before and actually wrote a poem several days ago to the theme “hard feelings.” I didn’t share it, since it wasn’t my challenge. I’ll need to get my hamster thinking cap on again for this new one.
Skyward I step up into the sky And run my fingers across the stars, Where they ping like crystal glass against my hand. The resulting night breeze sways me, And I am unstable on my ladder, Just for a moment. Making the stars sing is dangerous work, But I told them I was ready. Now I am unsure. The nights pass achingly, And I climb my ladder skyward Every night to see the stars. Once, I accidentally brush against the moon, And the gale nearly kills me, As it sends me and my ladder crashing down. Making the stars sing is important work: Without the pinging The stars do not shine, And guide no sailor’s or lost traveler’s way, Give no hope to the lovers and dreamers, Nor teach the learned and the students about the unknown. My life is such a paltry thing, Or so I’ve been told, Compared with my journey up to the sky. Sweet stars, They don’t know how they hurt me, With their sharp edges and their sharper winds. My blood is on their corners, My bones upon the ground, My breath stolen by their song. Making the stars sing is draining work: My heart is nestled within them, Beating a frantic tune. I journey, And I journey, And I journey. One day, I will not be lucky, Replacing me will be quick and cold.
