I stare downwardly while I'm walking because the swaths of grime beneath my feet are more cause for alarm than the lack of stars outside at night. Light pollution's left me jaded.

I feel you Ellis! What greater sadness could there be than not having anything to look up towards the sky for?

Thank you very much! I am glad that you connected with my words in such a deep way! That's all I could every ask for, actually.

Welcome here! Happy to have you:)

I really loved reading this, and I definitely connected with your words.

The world often gets a little too much and I find myself staring off, letting my eyes gently blur and not focus on anything at all…

Friends are quick to wave me back into reality, to check if I’m okay. I really love that feeling though, feeling like I’m disappearing for just a second.

Really lovely work :) 🌷

Thank you so much, Jas! Yeah it can be quite difficult to grasp at that feeling. I am glad my poem reminded me of those great times of disappearing, even if just for a few seconds:)

Truth and art hand in hand. The dreams are in the ceiling and escape runs along the floor. Excellent :)

Thank you! Beautifully put. You basically summed up my whole poem in one one line. Bravo!
