Stardust
There is no mystery in why you look to the sky
When you wonder who exactly you are
For though you are bound to this Earth
You were surely born unbound in the stars
You are a celestial being in frail frame
Hung in a spherical spinning gallery
Life flung to the terra firma by chance
Your true nature lost in the reverie
Do not forget from whence you did come
For a universe exists within you
The depth and vastness that you hold
Is what you seek in your skyward view
You play out your sedentary life
On a mantled orb as you must
But never forget where you came from
For we are all made of the same stardust
Truth eloquently penned!
Thank sis! Stay home and stay well!
Hello Brad, a most beautiful poem and a subject close to my heart. Loved the precise words, the perfect image created and the flow, so rhythmic and musical. Love your writing and your style, you are certainly one of the best in my book! All the best to you from Spain, hope you are well, staying safe and home during these times.
Your friend,

Thank you, my dear friend! You are so gracious with your praise. I am well and safe. Hoping you, your loved ones, and your great country all the best during these trying times. Sending hope and love from the U.S.
Thank you my friend, I truly appreciate that and I am glad to hear you are well as is your family, friends and loved ones. Love and health from Spain!
Hey, I was going through random blocks, when I found this poem of yours. It’s beautiful.
I agree that we all have a pinch of stardust in us and that’s why we look up at the sky.
Reminds me of the captions of one of my paintings- ‘sky is the only confidant’.
Thank you for your kind words, Shailja! I hope you will stay and read more. Best wishes!
Sure! 🙂
😁
what beautiful imagery: “Life flung to the terra firma by chance”. I can picture us sailing from the stars to earth at the speed of light.
Your poem reminds me of the classic song “Woodstock”, written by Joni Mitchell:
We are stardust
We are golden
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Thank you, Jim. I am glad you enjoyed it!
Good morning Brad
This is so beautiful. Its a philosophical poem.
“Do not forget from whence you did come
For a universe exists within you”
Excellent.
Enjoy your Sunday my dear friend.
Thank you, my dear friend! So kind of you to say. Your comments always mean a great deal to me. You enjoy your week ahead, Gabriela! ❤
My pleasure Brad. Enjoy your week you. I know it’s hard but make it beautiful.
Your words hold so much truth Brad. I also find this to be an uplifting piece with these times. I can’t pick out a single line or two because they all work so well together, the cycle of life. Then our heavenly life. Please stay safe, healthy and be blessed. Love 💕 Joni
Thank you, Joni! Your words are always so kind and sweet. You stay safe and blessed too! Much love ❤ Brad

What a beauty-full poem. Thanks for sharing this. Really a very valuable post. Continue posting such amazing things.
Thank you for your kind words!
Gahh!!! 😍😍 So beautiful! This might be my new favorite of yours. It’s hard to choose, (I have so many,) but I definitely relate to this one. I can almost always be found looking up at the sky. Stargazing is one of my favorite things in the whole world. It’s why I could never live in a city. I’d miss the stars far too much!! 🌌
Thank you, Kristian! You just keep looking up baby!
Always!! Sunrises, sunsets, the moon, stars, clouds, thunderstorms, lightning. I love it all!!!
❤😘
Gorgeous.♡
I’ve read many poems about stardust and space, but your words and the way you write always add something new to anything I could’ve ever read before. Your words invoke such a lovely starlit imagery, a textured calmness.
It’s always brilliant!
Seeking out the depth and vastness inside of us in our skyward view? Oh wow.
As lovely as you always write Brad!
I loved it! 😊 💜
Thank you, Megha! You are so kind with your words that it made me blush. Your support and love is so greatly appreciated. ❤❣❤
Wonderful!
