Floating Among Stars

Through binoculars

I observe herds of people

sailing towards the horizon,

a line I cannot define.

Let out a soft shrug,

pitying their feeble minds,

exchanging views

as my eyes wander

through a telescope.

An endless sky

lies above,

mesmerising rocks

orbiting through space.

Ambitiously built a rocket

to travel forever

across the limits drawn by sight,

a lost soul finding myself

floating among stars.

This is where I belong.

A quick note on Steemit. Steemit is another platform where I will be sharing my poetry, as I believe it is the future for any kind of writer. It is powered by cryptocurrency, not with ads (like WordPress). What does this mean for you? Nothing! I will still keep posting daily-poems and use the post-a-day prompts. However, I will be posting the poem first on Steemit (minutes before here) and in my posts, I have to attribute a link to Steemit. If you are interested in this platform, check it out by clicking here.
