Lost

Augustus

 

What would the night be without stars,

               as if they all died one by one?

Climbing higher what would men reach for?

What would dreamers wish upon?

And want of sky stories, space scrutiny

                and Greek Mythology?

Sailors forever lost at sea.

What would become of heaven as we know it?

Souls without a light to guide them.

Would my heart still beat in the dark?

            Awesome are the stars on a dark Summer night. That is what I feel. I do enjoy seeing the Winter night starry sky as well. Nice subject matter Augustus!

              Sorry about the morose subject. More positive star poem coming. Still grinning about that potted dog. Thanks.

              I've often wondered about what would happen if the sun were to go out, never to rise. Or should the moon fall out of orbit and leave us to wander in the dark at night. It's amazing how things beyond our control, are the most enticing to understand. The mysteries of space, and the earth are endless. Thanks for a thought provoking piece. P.S. I plan on being on the site more often now, so I look forward to some more of your writes, just as you have always read mine 🙂

                No stars? Scary thought. What would happen? Absolute chaos. And I think we all die. But you bring up some great philosophical quandaries that would occur. No universe, no sun, or moon, I think we'd all go nuts. - Phil A.

                • Augustus

                  Yes, strange indeed. And like you suggest not compatible with life. Would have to ask a physics scientist about that one. Today's is more positive about the stars. (Today's poem)
