A poem I wrote on 2 September 2008. I was about to run over to Poetry Club and my friend had Instant messaged me this line: “As I stare out of the window and watch the dust settle.” I found that poetic sounding and asked him if I could use the line for a poem… Well here is the poem for you to enjoy.
As I stare out of the window and watch the dust settle.
I dare not mettle with the winds gust.
The dust settles and all I can see is the bright night sky.
My gaze is stuck on the moon,
You see the same moon,
From hundreds of miles away.
Shooting stars fly across the midnight sky.
Let’s lay in our own backyards
and star gaze together but apart.
As I stare out of the window and watch the stars settle.
