An Ode to Better Days

Introduction: Over the past couple of days I switched off within my mind from any thoughts of poetry and relaxed to try to enjoy a christmas time I have rarely enjoyed for over 20 years. The result was a desire to return to this mindset and create what I love, composing Poetry. Whether it is good, bad or indifferent, such poetry comes from where it felt good.

In considering todays poem I was caught up in a thought or merely a question, Does one who had lost their fire of desire or their fire of creative passion etc, ever get a second shot at that which makes them honestly happy or fullfilled? This is where Today’s poem takes place.

About The Poem:

Have you at any point felt lost and almost at an end and feeling like you are stuck between fences as it were. Stuck between two areas and yet where you are at is no mans land. Thus where does one go in such a situation Or who does one seek direction from at such a point in life?

Have you felt like you are lacking inspiration for whatever it is you do in life? And thus find yourself just existing and moving blindly on in life with out direction? This is pretty much where the poem starts from. The world and all in it continues to move on in their direction and you feel like wyou await direction thus move along until it strikes you as it were.

Sometimes the answer one seeks it just beyond the obstruction that impeeds them. “Seek the Stars and gain the moon in kind”, If one looks for the stars that light the night sky of their existance then they could also find the moon there also. All just beyond that which obstructs their view.

It short this is where todays poem sets out its store! The question then is what does one do at such a point.

Final Thoughts:

This poem has been sitting firm within my mind for some days before I finally left it flow. One little line that begun things it what started this one flowing. But if it ever helps anyone of brings some inspiration? That is another thing completely. Letting a poem flow and find its root on paper or on screen now a days is a good start. As one who considers themselves to be still learning how poetry is written and finding my road in poetry is such an enjoyment initself.

Having sid all of this, Please try to Enjoy this Poem:

An Ode to Better Days



With vacant eyes they look to cloudy skies,
The search for stars continues without lies.
Lost between fences, where no escape lay,
Souls and minds display thus wander each day.


Clueless where future plays ahead again,
When cobwebs gather on their fountain pen.
Still is the night behind such clouded eyes,
Disguised minds waiting for those clearer skies.


The Unbridled fire of inspiration,
Lost in the fog of life’s own creation.
Beyond the station that holds your desire,
Past expectation holds to untouched fire.


Thus fires that light night skies in life’s own dreams,
Burn above impeding clouds, your eyes schemes.
Look thus North or e’er to the West to find,
Where Life’s path will lead nothing blind that signed.


Thus Seek the Stars and gain the moon in kind,
Let unrequited Love fade on behind.
Lost dreams no longer schemes of faded days,
Who surveys the paths of lonely lost ways.

ENDING THOUGHTS:

Thank you for joining me on this journey, which is my journey thoughwriting and learning more regarding composing poetry. They say that life is a journey which for me translates into poetry a journey onto itself.

Some of my poetry contain topics that at some point will or may not contain issues that readers either agree with or do not, or they have experienced or They will disagree with completely. YET that is completly fine by me. But Poetry is a form of art work that I enjoy and thus using it in a manner to touch or inspire the reader.

My path through writing and publishing Poetry on this blog is a journey beyond any expectations. And numbers have grown past anything I ever expected. In the end of any post I have to Pass on my thanks to you for joining me on this journey.

Poetry for me is a constant learning curve that I always strive to improve. Often due to the speed of my typing and a few other issues, mistakes and typos will find their way into published posts. I continue to work on improving this as I move along.

Please forgive for any such mistakes and for your understanding this.
