Poem of the Day for 03/21/26

Oblivion is calling
by Patricia J Reed

I long for the sky
That has always
Called my name

Reverie of the infinite
Has haunted my soul
From birth

Stars whisper
A fantastic lullaby
Winking
Like you know
The lore

Bodies have confines
But emotion
And imagination
Can bleed
Into the shadows

Where a molten moon
Can slip into my veins
And light
Seeps like vapor
Through my pores

I can ride the waves
Of the sun’s warmth
To the end of the line

Catch the tail
Of a comet
Holding onto
Some planet’s remnants
Shards of history
Effervescing

I want to feel
A star being born
Shockwaves
And radiation
Ripping through
Interstellar gas clouds

Where time
Is measured by eons
Planets are tantamount
To grains of sand
And the fabric of space-time
Remains imponderable
