Portrait Of A Guiding Star

I am the sun,
So bright and beautiful,
Very hot and exuberant,
My rays are resilient,
I bring light to the world
A world so corrupt, yet i am brilliant.
As the world turns and the sky stay lit,
As the temperature rise to form heat waves
I take upon the sky, heavenly abroad,
To those that need me, they look up to see,
A golden bright image, which portrays as me,
The one self guided figure,you see before you
Has a God-like power, which does what none other do
Amazing as it seems, thorough but blinding to see,
The one captivating image, so vivid, it ME...

Although I know this may not have been your intention, I feel like this poem writes you off as arrogant. I think you intended to come off as a leader, or as inspiring but I think you took it too far. Otherwise, it's a great poem, and it's written beautifully. I liked that you did use yourself as a direct relation in the poem, showing that it meant something to you as more than just the author.

I feel you Jazzy but no it was not of that nature at all. This piece is to pretty much reveal the leader & strong willed side of me but not only me, to others just like me which present that light to many others as well. That includes you too my brillliant friend..

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
