Constellations

To dream awake beneath the sky
where blazing stars emerge to dye
the silken night in brilliant hues
of amethyst and midnight blues,
connecting dots with unseen rope
like beads of joy on strings of hope
that dress the endless onyx night
with images so bold and bright,  
until the beams of sunrise soar
to banish incandescent lore.

Your poem captures the charm of the night sky and stars in their purity as part of this beautiful universe. A good interpretation of the wonders nature provides, giving a calm tranquil feel to your poem that is pristine in content and intent. Emile. #7
