Night Sky

A night sky bleeds to darkness,
Like a sea with wounded prey,
Whose life force ebbs in distress,
Suffers half life and decay,
'Ere the pitch fully posses,
Polaris pulses and will allay,
Morose melancholy.

Shadows blend in firmament,
As Luna leaks morning star,
Endlessly, the dark is rent,
As worlds and orbs gleam afar,
And night gazers will invent,
A strange celestial bazaar,
Beaming bestiary.

Ursa Major and her minor,
Lumber into perception,
Near a beast of great honor,
Leo hunts stars in motion,
'Cross the dome graceful Cygnus,
Wings spread — divine deception,
Miraged mythology.

Stars story beasts and titans,
Such is Cassiopeia's tale,
Fair among the courtesans,
'Mid the stars her grace unveils.
Of stately and strong Orion,
The warrior of light will regale,
Dreaming divinity.

Centaur, bull, and scorpion,
Fully saturate starfields,
Myriad myths of imagination
Coerce crepuscule to yield,
From half-life to redemption,
Poets and seers are healed,
Singing serendipity.


Star light, star bright,
In the deep of the night,
A salve to lost sight,

Disenchanted,
Re-enchanting,
Muse!
