There's a starman waiting in the sky

by Mr. Darcy   Jan 18, 2016


A
man
drifts
in space
~~~~~~~~
looking down
on a big blue gift;
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
A world of wonders,
Where miracles can
Come true. Life beats
And blood flows like a
Sea of hot possibilities.
::O::O::O::O::O::O::O::
Time now to re-paint the
Face that will light lives
Of generations and inspire
*********************
Them to look beyond the sky
And learn to ask questions: But why
Not travel beyond this world's bindings,
Break free of conformity and find peace?
HHHHHHHHHHH
At 60 miles or so
Above the chaos,
drifts a Starman
who can really breathe
Eternal painless freedom,
leaving a naive world who has much to learn.
Farewell...............................................Blackstar

    This must have taken many hours of endless tweaking and flicking through every symbol there is to get it this perfect. I couldn't help humming a mix of David Bowie and Elton John - though it sounded a bit distorted, I have to admit.
    I loved the final six lines most of all. Just the words ' who can really breath ' made me sigh. It's a heavy reminder of what an imperfect world we live in. Still, in every imperfection, there is a perfection :)
    And the final ' farewell . . . . . . . . . . Blackstar' was the perfect ending. It's almost . . . Nostalgic? For me it is, anyway!
    It was completely intriguing right from the title to the very last bracket, lol. An absolute masterpiece :)

    Okay so as I was reading this I got sort of currious lol and well it actually looks like a spaceship! I had to stop and cofirm this which it was a spaceship and it's just amazing! Thank you for the smile this fine night now I will go back to reading the wonderful poem I was reading so far!

    I truly love the ending it's just so nice to see inspirations made even more wonderful when it's not hard to understand the. meanings of the poem and I now want to meet the Starman even if it's just a normal person who can push past the norm and be who they are regardless of pain, or opion.

    Thanks for letting me read this wonderful. poem :)

    p.s. such a shame it wasn't in the nominated poems I bet it would've won :) due to the whimsy and escape to the dreamer :)
