Harvest of Stars

Harvest of Stars

Look up!
Sparkling autumn stars above swirl in the Milky Way
Glittering umber, gold and fire of astral leaves
Streak through star dust of light years
Twirling in the gradual autumnal transition sway
Under falling aster stars born of spring lion’s light
Missing now the summer song of swan and lyre
New the frosty Sculptor to crisp nights.

Look up!
From galaxy fields fiery stellar artistry gathers fruit -
Silhouettes with cosmic bits like crystal dew -
Ripening in celestial orchards, the southern autumn’s hiatus,
Gleaned in abundant harvests of astral constellations
Ride twinkling Pegasus across the Centauri season
When Soul and Heart nebula nosegays seed the hunter’s stars
Where silence echoes ebony implosions.

Sam Kauffman May 5, 2022 at 10:09 AM Greg, thank you so much! I love looking at the stars and wondering. Sometimes I think I have left what is left of my mind out there wandering among the stars. So happy you enjoyed this harvest! Blessings!
