AUTHOR'S NOTES: The rhyming ABAB Couplet on "Star Light . . . Star Night" is actually the third poem in succession to two other previous poems I posted last month -- in August, to wit: "Cosmic Dust" and "Rainbow." "Star Light . . . Star Night," very similar to these other two poems, presently touches on another aspect of the so-called "God Theme" in the Universe. As with "Cosmic Dust" and "Rainbow," I thoroughly enjoyed writing this particular poem while further pondering ethereal concepts pertaining to certain heavenly and celestial images that have the ability and capacity to excite and enthrall the poetic imagination in most readers who have similar metaphorical interests. I do hope you enjoy reading this poem as much as I did writing it. Enjoy!! (Gary Bateman - September 14, 2014)
Star Light . . . Star Night
Gazing at the dark sky backdrop on this cold black night,
We are enraptured by the radiant view of bright Star-light.
This is a wondrous sight to behold by all on this Star-night,
Reflecting all earthly things gracious, grand, and right.
The cold beckoning blackness of this very special night,
Serves as the cosmic palette for unlimited points of light.
The enchanting Star-light on this marvelous Star-night!
This Star-night reflects God’s heavenly-made Star-light!
At once we realize the divine dichotomy between light and night,
On that mystical, magical eve filled with God’s Star-light.
God himself implores all who see His mosaic of Star-light,
To ponder ever gently too the dark beauty of His Star-night.
Oh! Radiant and grand Star-light on this most special Star-night,
We are forever spellbound by your God-given glorious sight.
