Window To The Universe

 

A symphony for the eyes to delight

Spellbound in the beauty of twilight

I look to the night skies

Such a beautiful sight there before my eyes

No clouds to hide my view

It’s been raining so long, making me feel so blue

Looks like a bright and shiny day

To me, is on its merry way

But for now I’m lost in this spectacular wonder

As to why I can’t look away, this I’ll stare and ponder

Twinkling stars seem to wink in my direction

Do they know I twinkle back to them in my reflection?

Star light star bright, how lost in thought I am tonight

Wish I may, wish I might, always remember this beautiful sight

With a song my heart longs to sing out

Of beautiful stars that shine down on me with love no doubt

Almost hypnotic in the vastness of space

If only with an artists brush could my voice interlace

To describe the serenity of this sea of stars

How many poets have set sail from here into their memoirs?

A nightly astronomical event

Emotions so picturesquely eloquent

These stars shine each with their own light so unique

Each like precious flowers, a cosmos boutique

And as the hours pass by

These beautiful stars will cross the sky

Until they grow dim with the coming of dawn’s early light

The brightest star of love held within my birthright

Now you know the view from this poems start

Has been through the window to the universe of my heart
