Notes About The Poem


 

Marbles In the Sky

Magnificent forms in a world that once was black
Are bright shining orbs. There's nothing they lack
Revealing to me that life holds abundant treasure
Beyond comprehension, outdistancing all measure
Lending me chiseled vision, as through a cat's eye
Exquisite beauty is found in the clearest night sky
Stars are wondrous gifts; a fact no one can belie

Your marbles were never lost, Tim. Starry starry nights are the writing tablets of a romanctic...you know all about that. Thanks so much.

Thank you for the kudos, Jan. I can't see the stars so well here, near the city, but when I lived in Colorado there were so many brilliant lights in the sky.
