Music of the Spheres

Where the sun stops
And the light fades,
And the dark deepens
One finds a subtle
Horizon rest-

Within this symphony
Of great spheres-
Strings aloft,
Horns a summit of air,
Percussionists not a beat
To flare-
Safe harbor, so to speak-
A point
Without a peak...

For Time has no say,
With cycle in pure alignment,
The movement paused
Defying slip or stray,
The conductor's wand not a sway-

Here I also find You,
In the still
Without space,
Suspended
On High of Grace…

Joe I don't think I have ever imagined a more beautiful twilight than what you have described in this wonderful poem. It is my favorite time of day when peace transitions day into darkness. A time to be still and listen to that symphony with a grateful heart. This is a fave! Your poetry really speaks to me. 7 ; )

Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher of the sixth century BC was the first to talk of the music that the heavenly spheres produced as the move! This is a marvelously poetic composition dear Jo! Enjoyed it a lot! A seven!

Hi Demetrios; thank you. Strange how we, as humans, do not listen to the depth of vibration so easily understood and accessed by other living species. We do not have the developed physical senses to do so, only because we do not willfully stretch to grow.

This is crazy good, I love every verse, but the second stanza is my favorite.
