Contemplations Under the Night Sky

In the tranquility of the night, 'Neath the lustrous moon's light, I contemplate life's infinite flight, And its transient, fleeting sights. The stars above, akin to jewels in the sky, Sparkle and pirouette, as the night slips by, And the gentle breeze whispers a sweet lullaby, As I lay here, 'neath the vast expanse on high. Oh, how ardently I yearn to ascend, To ascend, to explore, to transcend, To unveil the enigmas that lie around the bend, In the cosmos' depths, to no end. But alas, I'm merely a feeble mortal, Enchained to this earth, with no portal, To the great beyond, the perpetual, And so I resign, to stay calm and gentle. For though I cannot caress the stars, Or voyage to the planets that are far, I can still wonder at their magnificence, And find solace in their narratives.
