On Particles of Stardust
(Sweet Creativity)
by Kenneth Vincent Walker
It seemed to be an
Endless journey, yet
Looking back it was
A mere ripple in time.
A bottomless voyage
Of possibilities; yet
An eternity to finally
Unravel and unwind.
Roving over hills and
Dales, crags and ruts,
Over the whole cruel
Mountainous terrain;
Subconsciously shut
In my mind to finally
Find myself where I
Have now ended up.
The path was tedious,
Arduous and long with
Bouts of boredom and
Mediocrity, loneliness,
Also brilliance beneath
Solar flares, raindrops,
On particles of stardust
Sent from the heavens
Above, and now perched
Precariously on my brow
Seeping into my cranium
Freeing me from delirium;
Sweet creativity unbound.
