Poem #2 - Noelle

in #poem7 years ago

the stars seem like dull old diamonds now
not at all like when we were young
and would abandon our fathers’ cars to run
tumbling into the grass at the park.
we’d look up to the night and allow
ourselves to dive into the moon’s craters and
swim among the stars.

when i looked up at the sky last night
i saw smog. But if i was to leave this city and drive out
miles from these city lights maybe then i could see the
constellations that have been there before our time.

we used to sit out in that field until the cool of the night swept
all the summer heat away. but even in the chill, we’d lie together
giggling, whispering, wondering why
God kept caring about this dot of a world on the edge of the Milky Way.

i wonder, wherever you are, whatever city you live in
if you look up sometimes too, and realize how far we’ve gone from heaven.
