My Blue Star
by
Michael Faircloth
Sitting here with my eyes closed
Sounds of life surround me
Artificial breeze cools my body
Feet relaxing on top my desk
Today’s work for pay complete
Avoidance of scholarly requirements
Dinner’s preparation waits unanswered
Parenting on automatic
Dangerous opportunities for a mind like mine
Should never have this kind of time
Thoughts run every way
Fantasy is where they tend to play
Hidden from light
Unnoticed by others
Closed eyes as I smile
Private images forbidden
Traveling through space
Resting on a blue star
Sending messages on rainbows
Receiving universal love
Flying my way on a craft of light
Rainbow message in hand
Joining my blue star
An undeclared friend
Hidden from the world we know
With our kindred souls
Upon our private star
We discover who we really are
Limits confine us all
Society makes the call
Fakeness lets us act tall
Life simply stalls
Blue star friends are rare
I wonder if this world knows
Many ways I confuse the truth
Protecting reputations I choose
Deeply hidden inside of me
Blue star fantasies
Rainbow friends
Holding a soft hand
A thousand lives I could live on my Blue star
Sharing my soul with special rainbows
Open hearted to travelers on light
Naked without shame and free of blame
Blue star fantasies are a secret
Rainbow friends must hide
Society’s image I must wear
Forced life I live
If a ticket should come my way
Printed on light
Sent by a rainbow
To my blue star I will go
