Braille

Adorned with momentus meaning ,
darkness can be a terrible and scary thing  -
For some- a time of nightmarish convening
Yet to others - divinely rich beauty abound

To me it is a story to read  one of
my favorite things - lying on the ground  
All the stars are braille  as I reach out to read touching and caressing
One falls and other takes its place 
the story is rewritten again and again and never dull

Some people on earth prophesied the stories to stones , 
some five thousand years ago ..ancient stories regarding our times  
Full of ugly, detestable crimes, so I do as I may, 
watching the night sky reading stories of dragons ,
creatures half man  and many other wonderful things  
My perfect world of armored braille-
I'll just keep on reading of ancient battles, songs of lovers
Adventures of the gods
And four leaf clovers.

What great images. You've used a perspective here that I have never considered before, reading stars like braille. Thanks.
