THE SUNDAY MUSE
some seem to speed through life like a shooting star
a brilliant light, reckless and driven,
savoring adventure, speed, and chance,
wild and daring, taking life to the very edge …….
some meet the edge all too soon
and, like the shooting star, fade into infinity.
leaving their horizons unexplored.
This is a beautiful piece, I love the line "saving adventure, speed, and chance. What I plan to do in 2022; taking it slow and enjoying all that I aspire to do.
ReplyDeleteThis beautifully captures the mystique of losing Dean so young. It is always a pleasure to see you at the Muse Bev. Your poetry is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGood characterization of James Dean, Beverly. Gone but never far from our minds in the infinity.
ReplyDeleteHe was a beautiful star.

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! What makes the world go round ~~ the movers/shakers ~~ the reflective/thoughtful. Glad we had Dean, a shaker of hearts for sure.
