*Used One line from another recent poem, I think it suits this one better*



Tonight I am part of the earth
Lying in an ocean green
The wind creating waves
Ripples in my grassy bed

With the sky as my canvas
I demand more beauty from the night
Playing connect-the-dots with the stars
I paint her face on the heavens



God's work corrected
The skies Perfected



Frozen in this ocean green
Wading...
Trying to hold in my breath
Before she steals it away once more

Tossing pennies into a fountain
Already full
Caressing golden lamps too much
Begging for her gentle touch



Counting shooting stars like sheep
As I try to fall asleep



Circumstances act like gravity
I'm trying not to drown
Too much of a dreamer
Wishing the sky would fall down

"Circumstances act like gravity" Really puts into perspective. Poetry is like making a picture with description and emotions. A truly marvelous piece.

sure does feel this way too many a times, one feeling all we can do is wish for something, anything, may it be a blessing from above or the very heavens to fall below, so that they may share our circumstances, nice write, enjoyed how this played out -symph-
