as we grow up, <br />our sense of wonder fades: <br />nothing is more tragic than this. <br />when i feel the child within me dying, <br />and the fires of curiosity are nothing but embers within me, <br />my eyes turn towards the heavens.. <br />God is a great artist <br />and the sky is his canvas- <br />nothing is so beautiful as the stars themselves. <br />the wonder i feel when i absorb their celestial light! <br />a heavenly glow within my soul shines through; <br />all of the darkness in my life is brightened away by their sheer beauty. <br />oh, the stars call to me! <br />'we are wonderful, ' they say, <br />revel in our glory and be happy tonight.' <br />the child within me leaps toward the night lights of the world, <br />and feels adored by them all... <br /> <br />(October 1,2005; Hilo, Hawai'i)<br /><br />Dylan Summers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eternally-beautiful/
