on an axis wheeling

Frank Prem

I look to the sky at night
watch the star-ways wheeling
around an axis
in isolated glimpses strobed apart
by months and weeks

 

they or I perform a pivot
and then go around again

 

I spin in awe
not certain what to make
of a darkness filled with pinpoint
spots of mystery

 

or perhaps it is all light
well separated by perspective
across time and space
to cause patterns
that my eyes can find

 

I wonder if the flickers
point the way to a god
who is somewhere
nowhere
who could be anywhere at all
within stellar perfection
while the conundrum


who am I

is awe enough

 

or do I have a task
to elevate
a sense of cosmic being
into the fabric of belief

 

I look to the sky
tonight
the milky way turned again
as though upon an axis
and I spin

 

I spin around
I turn
on a night
so overfilled with stars
I can believe

      Frank, you make looking at the sky a big adventure! Kudos!

      • Frank Prem

        It's pretty amazing any time, but a glory when in a speculative mood.

        Thanks Fred.

        Cheers. STay warm over there.

          The mornings are cool (long pants, sweat-shirt), but the days are always warm (shorts, t-shirt, slippers)

          Would that I could share the experience you describe, Frank, but 'night-blindness' disallows. A well penned experience you share in this good write!

          • Frank Prem

            That's a shame Louis. I find it a soulful kind of experience.
