Like a Diamond In the Sky

Twinkle the stars in night’s display— Sun’s shining rays light up the day… and yet, if futures vast we may divine, white dwarf with diamond core (that crystallized in ages yore) will pulsate like a cosmic gong its tintinnabulary song (no longer sunbeams to bestow) in seven billion years or so…; then Sol might twinkle for the eyes of distant poets far more wise, beyond our cares— whoever dares (if dreamers dwell in heres and theres, whate’er whene’er where’er they are) to seek and find our once bright star (that like us also flames and dies)— those with the loupe to look with sighs for long lost Lucys in the skies… – Harley White < September 2010 >
