    Wee experimental piece - open fire folks all comments welcome

    Graeme



    The morning mists that seek a home,
    Bind silver shells in ivory domes.

    Ab initio ad astra

    One circle course with varied scenes,
    The roads restart, signpost new dreams.

    Ab initio ad astra

    Loud, deepening drums pull fast like sails,
    Sleepers’ words wander paper trails.

    Ab initio ad astra

    Held salted seas within these forms,
    What golden gains could calm their storms?

    Ab initio ad astra

    Hey,

    Don't normally comment on poetry, but really like this. Especially if I get the image right, if not its meh! ;)

    I see a shuttle/rocket just about to take off.

    First and last two lines are excellent, very vivid.

    Thanks man I really appreciate it - you're not too far off with the meaning, though it can mean whatever you want it to.
