A star is as a dream; <br />It shimmers in the distance, <br />Longing to be reached. <br /> <br />But what person on Earth, <br />Can hazard such a journey, <br />By risking such a trip? <br /> <br />Gravity, like memory, <br />Holds us all forever firm: <br />No one can break free. <br /> <br />And were gravity conquered <br />Still the vastness of space <br />Bars passage to all. <br /> <br />And so things remain unchanged, <br />No new dreams are realized, <br />And no new star explored. <br /> <br />Forever and ever it remains, <br />There's nothing new under the sun, <br />And no new sun to be under.<br /><br />Steven SRS<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/star-dreamer-2/
