Hi Susan ,
I saw your post on ig for the featured poem . I really loved the concept and moved over to your website. I read the last featured poem and it was so heartfelt 💜
I would like to submit a poem too.
I have titled this as “Dust and stars”
I lay buried in dust.
among specks of pollen on earth,
and I’d be happy if I could find,
a few to stand by my side.
But God said to me ,
“Oh dear !
A place as such in here ?”
He smiled while I’d weep and scream ,
He threw me up,
in the unknown realms !
Trapped in violent storms ,
I waited for my fall .
And a dozen chances I took ,
To poise myself as I looked ,
Everyone around
had their places found.
“Why , Oh Lord why? , I’d ask,
Don’t you hear my cries ?”
And as soon as I sighed,
And gave up all my might,
The night had grown the darkest,
and the storms around had died.
A hand gently came ,
and nudged me to take the last step.
And when I turned around , I saw,
What I deemed to be a fall ,
was in fact an ascent tall !
And while I thought I fell ,
I rose above the hell.
“Dust and dirt and land ,
said the Lord,
“aren’t your place to be !
You my child shall stand,
among these shining stars you see.”
.
