Dear Friends,
I wrote this poem today, and want to share it with you. I rarely share my creative writing here because I am saving it to submit to publications. But some poems are just fun to share. This is based on my recent dive into astronomy with my mom, and also my ongoing internal quest to figure out what it all means.
These days have felt full of intense and scattered energy in my body and life. There is so much I want to delve into. But it is overwhelming to think about it now. I am going to just flow with it for a bit. Poetry helps me express feelings and ideas without me needing to have much clarity on them yet.
So here is a poem for you. I would love to hear what you think.
Your Friend,
Danny
I AM STUCK
In this body
So entangled
In this life
So entrapped
On this planet
Always in orbit
Governed by
Gravity
In this galaxy
Just one of many
In a universe
That I try to
Understand through
Documentaries and online courses
That answer nothing
Of my true question
That is
Why me?
Danny With Words
