Joseph May Poet Sonnet

Diamonds In the Sky

Our  destiny may reside in the distant stars
        Reflecting the path our journey takes
  These celestial jewels from afar
         Give glittered guidance  to the steps we make

          Sometimes beauty's jewel lies within our sight
   Yet we linger not in the prism of its light
         The time may come when only the  glitter is left
   As a star fades away in the flames of death

   A diamond's remnants so far away
           Streaks across the sky in stardust glow
   Within  a  bejeweled galaxies array
          Its demise in perfect rhythm with the universe's flow
 
 Through  the stardust  glitter  descending like rain
  Beauty echoes through the remnants  with sweet  refrain
