Starlight Barricade

on this barren hillside -
i struggle towards the firmament -
reaching as high, as my earthbound feet would carry -
often they would pirouette, waltz across the empty silent void -
constantly reminding of what we might never achieve -
we might never achieve -
astrophysics puzzle thought -
calculate impossibility -
forging horizons for mankind -
count the distant raging fires -
count the walls before us -
starlight as a barricade -
as the patterns scatter, feelings of confinement wrap my soul -
distance evades my grasp -
stilling my dreams with the ground -
silence the dreams in the dirt -
stilling my dreams with the ground -
silence the dreams in the dirt -
every evening thoughts conceived -
as I wed thee skies of night -
diabolic infinity -
mocks me with its haunting light -
silence the dreams with the earth
