There's a starman waiting in the sky

by Mr. Darcy   Jan 18, 2016


A
man
drifts
in space
~~~~~~~~
looking down
on a big blue gift;
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
A world of wonders,
Where miracles can
Come true. Life beats
And blood flows like a
Sea of hot possibilities.
::O::O::O::O::O::O::O::
Time now to re-paint the
Face that will light lives
Of generations and inspire
*********************
Them to look beyond the sky
And learn to ask questions: But why
Not travel beyond this world's bindings,
Break free of conformity and find peace?
HHHHHHHHHHH
At 60 miles or so
Above the chaos,
drifts a Starman
who can really breathe
Eternal painless freedom,
leaving a naive world who has much to learn.
Farewell...............................................Blackstar

    I am a huge Bowie fan. My youngest was born 3 days after he passed. I forgot this site used to have commenters. Her name is Lydia. Also a popular song at that time by Highly Suspect. Nice poem.

    This must have taken many hours of endless tweaking and flicking through every symbol there is to get it this perfect. I couldn't help humming a mix of David Bowie and Elton John - though it sounded a bit distorted, I have to admit.
    I loved the final six lines most of all. Just the words ' who can really breath ' made me sigh. It's a heavy reminder of what an imperfect world we live in. Still, in every imperfection, there is a perfection :)
    And the final ' farewell . . . . . . . . . . Blackstar' was the perfect ending. It's almost . . . Nostalgic? For me it is, anyway!
    It was completely intriguing right from the title to the very last bracket, lol. An absolute masterpiece :)

    Okay so as I was reading this I got sort of currious lol and well it actually looks like a spaceship! I had to stop and cofirm this which it was a spaceship and it's just amazing! Thank you for the smile this fine night now I will go back to reading the wonderful poem I was reading so far!

    I truly love the ending it's just so nice to see inspirations made even more wonderful when it's not hard to understand the. meanings of the poem and I now want to meet the Starman even if it's just a normal person who can push past the norm and be who they are regardless of pain, or opion.

    Thanks for letting me read this wonderful. poem :)

    p.s. such a shame it wasn't in the nominated poems I bet it would've won :) due to the whimsy and escape to the dreamer :)
