Wisdom of the Stars

For what could be the reason

When I look up at the night sky

Suddenly I’m compelled to write

For wisdom of the stars I pry

 

Or is it the stars

Who call upon me

With twinkling inspiration

In the starlight I see

 

Then on the ocean horizon

The coming of dawn’s early light

And oh, how wonderful

Tranquil and peaceful this sight

 

With seagulls aloft

Soaring on gentle breeze

The tide calmly advances

Soft waves to the beach they tease

 

And the morning hours

Fuel for more poetic words

Notions within my heart

Certainly I’ve heard

 

As the hours pass

Life awakens in town

Activity everywhere

Morning greetings abound

 

The sun’s light poetically dances

Everything it touches spawns life anew

The colors throughout the day

Smiles on happy faces too

 

Slowly, the sun descends

As it’s pulled down from the sky

A sunset so beautiful

Hypnotized, all I can do is sigh

 

Again, I’m captivated as

The stars come out

Now I see wisdom of the stars

Inspirational light no doubt
