- Latest Review: And Then I Met Margaret by Rob White
Conflicted heart
That the star-scattered sky
Filled with twinkling lights and shooting stars
Can grant wishes
Some nights my heart thinks
That these satellites that are strewn in space above
Guard our every movement and location
Tracking, tracking, and holding us still I their gaze
But as my heart decides, my heart is ever-changing,
Ever mercurial
Not making up it's mind
But rather enjoying our confusion

My interpretation of this poem lends itself to the historical need of Man to believe that there is purpose and design to our lives rather than the cold, practical reality of existence and that we yearn for order rather than chaos - a plan rather than an impersonal and ungoverned aspect of an unfolding, deterministic, and mindless universe.
Very nice poem which offers food for thought. Thanks for sharing!

I like the length - I think short poems can be very solid.
