CDXLV - No Need for Stars

Sunday Whirl (Wordle #91) presents a list of words

that we must incorporate in a writing piece.  

The words this week are: 

bends, breaks, burden, diminishing, ditch, drunk, 

palace, poetry, room, steps, virtue, wish

No Need for Stars.

In the dark palace of my mind

There is a room for you;

Where, unburdened by our duties,

Our wishes can run true.

Where poetry breaks the confines

And steps where few folk do,

Where inner and outer beauty

Are seen as a virtue.

The diminishing urge for flight

Reveals just who we are—

Lets us ditch a pretence or two

And bend the cage’s bars.

The heavens are a marvellous sight

And sparkle from afar

But ‘til I’ve drunk my fill of you

I’ll have no need for stars.
