&quot;Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground&quot;<br /> ~Theordore Roosevelt


Just through the clouds
Just beyond the bloody orange sunset
Lie golden gates
Lie people's fates
No hate
No crime
No war
No dying
You're a spirit
You're one with God

On this earth
So filled with
Hate
Crime
War
Death
It's hard to be sure
Sure that it's there
And sometimes
I cry
Because I think
How disappointed God must be
In me
For doubting
Doubting
Then I look
At the night sky
So black
Anything could be out there
The possibilities are endless
I look at the stars
A tiny billion miracles
Waiting to shine
Brighter, brighter
Than ever before
And my mom calls to me
“Go to bed, Sofia!”
Because it really is
Very late
No time for a little girl to be up
So I just peek
Sneak
One last look at that black canvas
Full of miracles
And I smile
Because He's there
I know He is

Awesome job.

Sometimes you just click on something, not suspecting anything, and then it's like WOW! how did I miss that? That's what your poem was like. Keep writing:]

I LOVE it. I don't agree with your beliefs about God, but I love the descriptions and the imagery. Amazing!!! Keep on writing!

&quot;Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.&quot;

Thanks so much for reminding me that God is always there even though I can't see him.

It flowed together so well, too.

Keep writing!

I actually liked the "bloody" sunset description, but I agree that it felt a little forced and listlike. However, you have a great basis here.
