Return To The Previous Poem - Perception
I TOUCHED THE STARS By ... Steve Lucky The stars were out in front of me And I reached out and touched them. Stars may be considered hot But I felt a chill inside of me As I reached out to touch them. Some people have a chance to touch the stars Yet never reach out to them Content with what is familiar to them. Being overwhelmed by it all, I sometimes wonder if touching the stars Was indeed the right thing to do. Everyday things can be torn apart Once it is discovered the stars are Not as they appear to be. Maybe my own opinion Does not make any difference To the stars themselves. On the other hand, maybe it does. Somehow this makes it all worthwhile Because the stars have touched me.
