Midnight Rambles

SpAce and StaRs aNd pRity drEemS
FaSinaTe Me
GHosts And MAIRs of the niTe
ScaRe Me
WheN day coMes I no tHat thaiR will bEe litE anD I will LanD baCk on eaRTh and I will beE safe

Space and Stars and Pretty Dreams
Fascinate Me
Ghost and Mares of the Night
Scare Me
When Day Comes I Know That There Will be Light and I Will Land Back on Earth and I Will be Safe

Space, stars, and pretty dreams fascinate me.
Ghosts and mares of the night scare me.
When day comes, I know that there will be light, and I will land back on Earth and I will be safe.

Space
stars
and pretty little dreams
Fascinate me.
Droplets of my hopes and my wishes
that dangle in the sky.
But the ghosts and the mares that dance in the night
wish to take it all away
Cover it with despair and shroud it with fear.
To fight my battle against the dark
I climb
As the sun does when it breaks.
The rays bright and the warmth a blanket
that leaves room to breathe.
Land safely
From the world of my mind that drifts ceaselessly in evening
Full of childhood memories and ponderings of my future -
but safe. Safe.
It's actually almost one in the morning.

I was just listening to some good music and I felt like writing. There's not a lot of connection to me personally, but the poem was suppose to show a child growing up. I really like this concept of using improper grammar and incorrect spelling to represent a child, to a transition of proper English to show a mature person, to abstract writing to show that just because the body has grown, the mind can return to the days of creativity.
So I'm probably going to do this again one day.

And yes, this is just a ramble because it's got no association with anything. Just felt like writing. Rambling.

I love this. I really like how you set it up and how you can see the person growing up, learning to write better and see their writing change.
