Night Eyes

Tonight I look upon the stars so far and wide As they light and wake In their space and mine I am marveled by their mystery How far do they roam from the abyss of space? Shooting glorious flashes across the naked earth Then dying so mercilessly a death of black An astrological movement with speed and appetite Soon ,as you can imagine a new star is born With brilliance, and a flaunting parade of pigments Down to me, for my pleasure and well being And flickering to the north a dream has staggered into my view A rainbow of opal fulgurous magic It is alive and swallowing time Aurora borealis you’re a vision of breathlessness I could spend forever ness rapped in your dance
