That's lovely Napoleon!

All of you

 

I adore someone

she is wild and free

I have no expectations

no obligation to me

 

I admire someone

and I let her be

a beautiful flower

a magnificent tree

 

If I love someone

I set them free

her beauty and nature

I am privileged to see

Recently I joined this AN "ars poetica" group. I'm a community poet (and atheist) living with my husband in Albany, New York (USA). In mid-life, I went back to graduate school to get an MFA degree in poetry. I post my original poems (a new one each week) on my blog which is here --

I look forward to taking part in this AN "Ars Poetica" group.

Yes, very sweet. Perhaps the autobiography of an atom too.

Did you write that Matt?

Sweet little poem.

Long time no see, btw.

It is dark
so dark
here I am
this dot
this small dot
traveling in the darkness

It is scary
to be this small
in the dark
with only scattered light

What I am
to the darkness
to the scattered light
to the vastness that is not me

Where will I go
What will I do
Will anything notice this small dot

Or will this dot come and go
like so many dots before
like so many I'll never hear
like so many I'll never see
like so many I'll never touch

I AM AFRAID
Afraid of what I don't know
Afraid of what I do know
Afraid of which direction to take
Afraid of moving with too many mistakes

What's this?
Could it be?
Does another dot really shine for me?

Where has this other dot come from?
was I really awake or merely dreaming?
let me never sleep
let me never awaken

To think another dot would come along
another dot would stop
another dot would stay
another dot would share

Why?
Why would it not keep going?
Why would it not search for more light?
Why would it rest with me?
Me, the scared, unsure,unknowing
little
dot

How long has it been there?
How many days
How many months
How many years

Have I overlooked this dot
in my search for great light
great hope
great truth

Does it know is shines?
does it know I am here
watching it
thanking it
hoping it never leaves

How do I?
How do I show...
How do I show that I'm shining too

But this light isn't mine
I'm borrowing it
I hope that's okay

I think I'll find my own one day
but for now
I hope it's okay
for me to stay
in the warm light
of this other dot
for awhile
thank you little dot
than you for sharing your light
