I think it was Oscar Wilde who said something like "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking to the stars", and as beautiful and true as this sentiment is it made me think that so few or us really are living with our eyes set on the stars. Surley there is so much more than this yet we are satisfied with so little, maybe we should ask the big ask, look for more, live life to the full now we're in his world? D.
13 SET ON THE STARS by DANIEL GOODMAN
Possession as giver of worth
Like so much that we're
Taught from birth
Is a profit of nothing at all
When the heart is a stone
Though
the soul longs for all it hold
Its repertoire of desires has grown old
And our sights are not set on the stars
But you open my eyes
Now
I'm in your world
I am not alone
You are all around
Now begins eternity
Eternity.
Your
words like Sirens call
I cannot speak at all
Heaven is here with me
Though I cannot see
Your
eyes like fire burn
It's all I can do not to turn
You hold the passage of days
Now you hold me
LISTEN to a sample.
