Checked by Syllable Counter (www.howmany syllables.com> syllable-counter) ************************************************************** In Stars Above In stars above lie myths buried with age, Each star hosting a soul perished with time, Parental affection shelved in its cage Lovers` afterglow reflecting its shine Dreams of a youth yearning to move uphill Or hopes cherished by men tilling the field; In words of some well- known saints and sages Stars are born when great souls soar up the sky With tale of every star writ on a page Every star shining with a distinct ply Every star retaining its discrete eye Every star awaking with gentle rise. In myriads of stars strewn far and wide In a nebulous sky, one can perceive Diverse shades and hues lying side by side That corridors of the mind can perceive, For some, a delicate piece of their heart And for others a vibrant work of art. In gatherings of stars above are formed Patterns and shapes, one stranger than others, Hurling in their serpentine paths dust storms, To wit, the Great Bear vied by the Hunter And the Little Bear caressed by the Queen With the Little Dog and more in the scene; In stars above shines a silvery light That for seafarers serves as sincere guide Where observing eyes search for their delight Broken hearts oft seek their sorrows to hide Some poets hunt for their inspiring muse And folks lost on the way seek their life`s clues; In stars above no magic lies for me, A withering tree battered by lightning, Shattered by the hands of fate like a flea Pining with harsh pains and close to falling, As the light in stars above fades away With shine of the greater light of the day. Unlike stars, the glow of the inner light, Damped in the oil of faith, ever shines bright Guides men on the path that`s noble and right Steers them away from the darkness of night Invests in them strength to face daily strife And, despite harsh odds, to remain alive.
