Struggle to fame.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The mind focused on fame so long
grasping at hands of the gifted followers
they climbed with smile after gracious smile,
rubbing their stardust cells
into your hands like a game of tree house.
As one falls another rises still to the canopy of life's camera lens,
again and again they
rise and fall.
Their viewers eyes tiring and aged
pushing doors open for you
once more, clutching to a once
heart pounding love unforgotten.
About this poem
God views you like stars in his skies, as close as a pin prick yet as far as the galaxy it yelps into.
