PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

broken black charred fragment

fits in the palm of my hand

imperfect and ugly

but for your glints of sparkling mystery

made of the stuff of stars

rock of interstellar dust

so easily missed by passers by

unassuming and secretly foreign

cold hard edges are all that remain

of your spectacular fiery entrance

to one insignificant orbiting body

that just managed to populate itself

i look at your imperfections

and know we share the same dust

only you exemplify our origins explicitly

and reveal our flaws blatantly

thank you alien metallic visitor

for your shining example

i can blaze triumphantly to crushing defeats

and wear my flaws like stardust
