Astropoetry

I found this poem in AWB website. A very nice and beautiful poem by Hilary Scheppers from Los Angeles. I wish I can come out with similar poem, but it seems that I don't really have talent in poetry :p so I decided to share her poem here for everyone. Enjoy!!

To Make My Mark on the Earth


I abandoned my bed last night
To make my mark on the Earth
Imprinting my body against the grass
Feeling The Force of the distant Suns

I spun with the planet last night
To feel the swing of the universe
Understanding the continual reach for eternity
Feeling so temporary from the Heavens

I saw a fleeting star last night
To love my insignificant worth
Witnessing an immense energy
Feeling like an outsider looking in

I held your hand last night
To appear stronger than I was
Sharing what energy I could
Feeling the Sun then about to rise

I gave you all my power last night
To give you a better Life
Deteriorating into the Dust of the Earth
Feeling like a dying star

I exploded to my death last night
To be buried in a Black Hole
Adjusting into a new life form
Feeling my energy unable to expire

-- By Hilary Scheppers (Los Angeles, US)
