Sam Kauffman Poet Free verse

Galaxy of Crystal

Galaxy of Crystal

Reader of star stories – far flung destinies
Enclosed within a midnight crystal dome
Filled with flecks of leftover stardust
Cosmic plane of star-crossed constellations
And dust storms of the lost transcendent light -
Clearly sees through falling astral luminaries
And hopes tossed up for the first twilight star;
A gypsy crossing galaxies of interstellar legend –
A woman with starry vision clad in nebula silk
Woven from threads of spiraling chambers -
Knocks at a door with no handle
Star princess – celestial royalty – spends the night
Leaving bits of stray star clusters
To enchant the eyes of a dream child
At the stargate of the dusky etheral.

Thank you Line for your inspiration.  I missed the contest but your theme set me spinning into a celestial wonderland!

Michelle Faulkner September 14, 2020 at 8:49 PM As ethereal and inspiring as the night sky, and quite the intriguing title too! Sam Kauffman September 21, 2020 at 11:17 AM I keep thinking about the galaxy under a crystal dome - how the atmosphere has a crystal clarity to it. Thank you for your lovely compliments. They encourage me. Hoping your air quality is better - not like dusty crystal! All the best.
