Imagined Life<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To wrap your eyes up and close
\nUnder a spot of our moon,
\nTo straighten and to sing
\nTill the dark night has come
\nNow run at warm morning
\nUpon a small hill
\nWhile day goes by swiftly,
\nBright like you\u2014
\nThat is your imagined life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To wrap your eyes up and close
\nUnder a spot of our moon,
\nSing! Swirl!
\nTill the dark night has come.
\nRun at warm morning
\nA small, ample hill
\nDay going swiftly
\nBright like you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Stars<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see that you should know
\nPoems meaningful as stars.
\nStars whose energy blink is reign
\nupon the galaxy\u2019s swirling milky-way;
\nStars that wander at humans all night long
\nAnd bow lingering eyes to watch over them;
\nStars that exist only in wintry cities
\nA funnel of holiday lights in between their toes;
\nAgainst whose shadow their light has shone;
\nWho publicly dance in and about the snow.
\nPoems are not taken by folks like you,
\nAnd Goddesses rear stars as if their own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
