PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

its the perception of all viewers
that is skewed
man is more than nebula's
supernovas and black holes
man is the mere though imperfect
embodiment of his own soul
the physical you speak of is
all things temporal
like the proverbial apple and orange
theory
perfection cannot aspire to be
like mere imperfect things
for even the flesh that houses
the perfect creation within
is that not more than
the components of an unthinking
star
that can only light up brighter and
brighter until it eventually
dims itself out
learning nothing from its
existence
other than it was there
and then it was not
self awareness is a beautiful
thing
another precious gift to the human
brain
I think if indeed those stars and sun
you speak of could think
they would rather long themselves
to be human
and would likely wish to compare
themselves to the beauty of
a saint
and to
the likes of A Mother Teresa
no doubt
would that make them any more
enlightened
perhaps
and perhaps not
but isn't it lovely to be human
and a poet
and have this ability blessed upon
you by God
to think about and create such
otherworldly things
for other humans
and not burning or deadened stars
'Far Above Us All'
