Francis J Grasso Poet Quatrain

First Star

In the center of the universe
Where the first star showed its light,
Beaming into emptiness
To begin the endless night.

The black tomorrow wakes
To the glory of a day,
And the first star of the universe
Begins to fade away.

Vijay Pandit August 19, 2018 at 11:51 AM A good write Francis..wonder if it is a metaphor for life. Francis J Grasso August 19, 2018 at 5:38 PM It possibly is, Vijay. Many times I have no idea where a poem is going until after it is written. Thank you for stopping by. ...Fran
