Nakshatra Nights
(Nakshatra is Sanskrit word for constellation of stars )
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A midnight canopy diapered in silvery dust
glows celestial light into massive vastness ,
where rapturous brilliance of pearly crystals
celebrate a prismatic festival of ballet dance.
Burning perpetual...no past present or future
nebulous monarchs smatter restless glitter
with a googol of planets, paisley patterned
in consonance of orbits a galaxy of stars.
A furnace of plasma pulsating it's womb
caverns of heart ignited in gaseous amber.
bedimmed in shades of gold, reefs of fire,
in endless desires, profusion of argent hope,
Emitted aeons ago, a journey of light years
to a luminous supernova of ash in black hole
sprinkling white frost, blazing black velvets
phosphorus catching fire flicker only to fade .
Looking down at Earth, in unleashed dreams
Do stars make a wish on their Zodiac signs?
Concealed fate in coalesced constellations
Nakshatra* nights saturate , dead or alive?
In Enlightened world, is an epiphany born?
there's too much light, a universe of fulgence.
Yet, surviving destiny, darkness everywhere,
a white flower blooms, so bright, and so fair.
