Gazing at the Sky

Gazing at the Sky Gazing at the sky on a summer night With MYRIADS of stars shining sheer bright Beside the LUNAR orb is sheer delight, To my heart and mind an exquisite sight, A scene I would ever wish to relish, A picture I would take pride to cherish. Lending an awfully attentive ear, Dispelling all SLITHERING waves of fear I can overhear LILTING songs of stars, Though many a hundred light years afar, So tuneful and melodious to hear So harmonious, lyrical and clear, Staring at the sky with still closer eyes A NEBULA close to the stars up high I can view, a swirling canvas full bright, Painted with hues of cosmic dazzling light, A shining seedbed for stars to take birth, A SERPENTINE charm when viewed from the earth. As I gaze at nightly sky from a couch A sour PHOSPHOROUS taste pervades my mouth And streams of deep thoughts CASCADE from my mind As in the sky real joy I can`t find As peering down my inner self procures And scanning the depth of myself secures. The inner self is a matchless art piece, A fountain of true happiness and peace A serene Nebula of sparkling light That never fades, but day and night shines bright Leads man to the rightful path in his life And spares him from a stark Serpentine strife.
