Lovely Portals of the Night
That orbed maiden comes out
With the radiant darkness
The innumerable stars
Hymn written in light.
The night walking down the sky
With the white fire laden moon
More richly hued than the day
Makes it more alive.
Lovely portals of the night
When the stars come out to watch
Day die giving glimpses of
Immortality.
Snow like icicles pointing down
Nature’s mysteries infinite
Centre all over no circumference
Do we deserve to know?
Would not like to wish “Good Morn”
Or wouldn’t like to wish “Goodbye”
Or to drench and drain this beauty”
No! Not at least me.
