Window To The Universe

Accidental Poet

 

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

    Beautiful write.
    "Stars are the holes in heavens floor."

    • Accidental Poet

      Thanks Goldie for reading and your compliment. Personally, I believe that Heaven is not just above, but all around us. And it's especially in our hearts. ; )

      • Goldfinch60

        I would agree AP, Heaven is certainly in our hearts and it is there to be shared with everyone.

      • WL Schuett

        Fantastic poem AP can really picture a poet looking within while surveying the night sky .

        • Accidental Poet

          Thanks WL. It started out as a poem about the night sky, but as I was writing it, it seemed to take a little twist as I felt the similarity of loved ones in Heaven and also in my heart. Thank you for reading and your compliment. I'm honored. ; )

        • orchidee

          Yep, another fine day for poems, including this one AP.!

          • Accidental Poet

            Thanks orchi. And the icing on the cake is yours and everyone's compliments. Sometimes I feel like a celebrity with all the wonderful comments. But I'm just one of a family of great poets here on MPS. I'm just one guy. ; )

            • orchidee

              Thanks AP. it\'s good to be \'just a guy\'. I can\'t stand some celebrities with their showing off, vanity, and generally being tiresome. There\'s some good ones too though.

              Great inspiring write. I have ventured out at night and gazed upon that sight, I enjoyed my journey with you.

              • Accidental Poet

                And may we journey together for many more writes lasergraph. Thank you for your compliment and reading. ; )

                Inspirational write about the stars. The imagery was wonderful! I love the last two lines! Well written throughout.

                • Accidental Poet

                  Thank you Christina. the last to lines is where the poem took a detour while I noticed the similarity of the stars and loved ones already crossed over to Heaven within my heart. ; )

                • Louis Gibbs

                  Thank you for bring to life for me that which I cannot see, the grand spectacle of a star-filled night sky. I love this excellent poem, AP! Beautiful write.

                  • Accidental Poet

                    Thanks Louis. I just got home a short time ago and couldn't help noticing the gorgeous night sky tonight. It reminded me of this poem I posted today. So glad you enjoyed it. ; )

                  • skyebellasario

                    This really is a wonderful piece of work! It provided me with a sense of tranquility 🙂

                    • Accidental Poet

                      Thanks sky. I'm really glad you like it. ; )

                    • FredPeyer

                      A very fine poem, AP! Makes me want to stay up late tonight and look up into the sky!

                      • Accidental Poet

                        Thanks Fred. Have you ever seen the International Space Station go by? If you go to the NASA website they have a link that tells you when the station goes over your area. It's awesome to watch. ; )

                        • FredPeyer

                          Thanks AP, I checked, and found out that if there are no clouds it will be visible for 1 minute on Oct. 15 and 2 minutes on Oct. 16. Will try to catch it.

                          This is so enchanting beautiful. It came through your eyes but expressed through your pure heart.

                          • Accidental Poet

                            Thanks malu. That's how most poetry gets written, would you agree? ; )

                            • malubotelho

                              Yes but I feel sorry that most of the writings are so sad. People live in depression. Too much suffering. The hearts are getting darker as the writing. Your poem is pure light. Brilliant
