Theatre
Child,
The stars of the heavens are not
so very far away.
For when you sleep
they creep, nearer, nearer,
but for a glimpse
Of you and I.
Ever-bright and all knowing,
Yet still these immortals illuminate
Curiously.
Why, sister, why?
I will tell you a secret, dear child,
The great secret of the stars-
They burn, they break and
Burst forth
with life,
Everlasting. What are we, child,
But blades of grass, swayed and
Surprised by every breath of wind?
Until one day
We stand no more.
Higher lights laugh down at us
Way up in the sky,
But none can resist a second look,
A closer look, child,
At crawling, craving hearts,
Such as ours.

Last night, I molested myself. I said no but I knew I wanted it.
Unfortunately, I don't know too much about poetry, so I can't critique very well. By what I can tell though, it's pretty good as it is.
Dont worry, i dont much about poetry either.
