A reply to Journey Through the Heavens.
Night
enfolds a drowsy world
In softest
solitude,
Darkness
opens on itself,
Infinite
heavens revealed.
A thousand
silent, twinkling lights
Beckoning
through space,
Reach –
stretch – grasp a hold
And swing
into their midst.
From
constellations, loner stars,
To far-flung
galaxies,
Wander
through the cosmic realm
Adrift yet
never lost.
Here a
different language speaks:
A language
of the soul.
Ancient
wisdom reverberates
The music of
the spheres.
Entertained
by jolly jokes,
Amusing,
witty tales,
Revel in the
centuries
Of
camaraderie.
Catch a
comet back to Earth
Whispering, “Adieu.”
Brush the
silvery star dust
That
lingers in the mind.written 25 September 2012
