Carpeted in thick, moist moss
Worlds beyond careening past!
Tell me what they mean because
I feel bereft of verdant grass.

Nice meter and rhyme. Is the moss not adequate or do you need grass instead for some reason?

Carpeted in thick, moist moss
Worlds beyond careening past!
Tell me what they mean because
I feel bereft of verdant grass.

Planets blessed in sunlit clouds
Parading by so gallantly.
Why is mine in darkest shroud?
Within this universal sea?

Why the glorious display
To make me violently yearn?
Why the glittering of days?
So I might enviously learn?

Why promenade beyond my grasp
such things beyond my mortal reach?
Why not release me from this task
and listen when I dare beseech?



Hope that clarifies the meaning of the poem.
Thanks for the feedback.
Much appreciated.

Keep the stanzas coming. I liked the aura around the head of your avatar.
