National Poetry Day

Star Dancing


I contemplate a flawless sky
Fractured by winter branches
Reflectively I wonder why
The stars enact their dances

Inscrutably they twinkle down
As they wander timeless paths
Like jewels upon a velvet gown
The hands of gods have cast

From their complex patterns shine
Ancient wisdom of the past
Rich knowledge of a different time
Holds secrets, deep and vast

Are answers there for us to see
Or are they deep inside
The answers that would set us free
Within where gods reside

I contemplate an endless sky
For my questions I seek answers
In my dreams my soul can fly
And the stars and I are dancers

My favourite starry song ;-)
