PAINTED SKY

Katie B.

Stars wish for nothing

They shine without

Knowing how

They give rise to wishers

As they melt the night sky

Abundant, scattered

Yet each is known

Their evening dance

A ritual

Mystery holds them apart

 

The moon

Matron of the stars

Guardian of the night

Consequential

Bearer of light

In the blistered night

Celestial bodies

Lay weary souls

To rest

A painted sky

Bids goodnight
