Beneath the Heavens

A universe of stars and planets an endless garden

Of an ardent celestial space formal pardon

Galaxies visible humming full of wonder

An abiding ancient central source of power

Adrift the spinster, sanctified sluice sky hung under

Illuminating loose in space strong, bold, and cold

To behold, as she pleads to the world young or old

Never to stand in gesture wavering as we go

Crawling overtime and remembers us below

Sailors sail crouched to its myth beneath the heavens

While lanterns light cast shadows in darken absence

Touch of life smitten with the tranquil purity

And wander hand in hand nature's simplicity

Bound in its embodied worlds epic fantasy

To bare its soul under laughing stars canopy
