│ ┊ I have been a Sky
│ ┊ I have been an Eclipse and
│ ┊ Even at times a shooting star
│ ┊I have scribbled the last bits of pages
│ ┊For all I ever wrote was already written
│ ┊From a cresent to a gibbous
│ ┊From a gibbous to a moon
│ ┊And then back, the same cycle rewinding
itself
│ ┊With every new beginning a new story
evolves
│ ┊With every new story a different challenge
slithers
│ ┊But even with that I have managed to stay
brighter than the sun
│ ┊And ethereally graceful than its sharp rays
that bombard the ground
│ ┊With every turn in life I've changed my
phase
│ ┊With one that suits the events the best
│ ┊And so
│ ┊At times I have been a shooting star
│ ┊I have been an eclipse
│ ┊I have been the sky
│ ┊Through all my life I have been a world
to myself :)
Theme/Analysis
I decided to just put a small analysis for the poem
Here I kept the meaning of the different phases of
The moon in mind while writing this. The first part
Just talks about the different events that can happen
in life be it happy, depressing or sad.
The next stanza kind of has a touch of fate put into
It...though fate can be changed but i took it in another
Prespective because theres still people out there that
think that fate can never be changed...at some point that is correct but then again miracles do happen...moving on it just shows that one gave up on trying to alter things in their life according to how they want to and also that after realizing they cant change whats there in store for them they just let it be
The next bits just talk about how at one moment you seem to rise and then suddenly you have to fall back down...it can never be that u stay on the top forever...life has its ups and downs
The next stanza talks about when the full moon slowly goes back to its new moon stage...the new moon symbolizes new beginning so with that when you try to get back up another new stories comes up with its own problems...with its own excitement and it can never be that you'll always have the same old boring thing happening to you again and again
Next stop it takes about phases. After you're well experienced of how this world works you end up knowing how to handle any situatuon
In the last stanza its just the same one that was on the top but in the opposite order. The first one went from being a lot to just the moon while the last one went from being just the moon to everything which shows that slowly and gradually things work out...the cycle repeats...from the top to the bottom from the bottom to the top :)
Dont know if any of that makes good sense
But I tried my best to link things :sweat_smile:
