Celestial Whispers

I toss my focus towards the sky
To ask those knowing stars for truth
They wink at me in mute reply
Shedding rays from my distant youth

A flash of vision most benign
Washes right though my addled brain
I beg to view the grand design
Prospects boosted from just one vein

When an infant I cried to speak
One panicky note my savior
All potential appeared oblique
While coaxed to spur my behavior

As I hit ten my mind took root
Grounding my core with books and rules
My tree of knowledge grew fresh fruit
I traded my playthings for tools

Ten years more I found myself free
To shape my world as I saw fit
I swept away the planned debris
Patching my principles with spit

The next decade bore changes still
Seeking faith raised yet more questions
I hid behind my sharpened quill
Ignoring gentler suggestions

The path ahead obscured by chance
Rolls past thousands of smiling eyes
They urge me on while I advance
Pointing my spirit towards new skies

When I study those rapt faces
A shadow of recall strikes me
Here all this time in all places
My vigilant soul jubilee

I can’t deny the trust I feel
These energies flow through us all
The cosmos hold grace most genteel
With mystery stitched to enthrall
