Night Eyes

Tonight I look upon the stars so far and wide
As they light and wake 
 In their space and mine
 I am marveled by their mystery 
How far do they roam from the abyss of space?
Shooting glorious flashes across the naked earth
Then dying so mercilessly a death of black 
An astrological movement with speed and appetite 
Soon ,as you can imagine a new star is born
With brilliance, and a flaunting parade of pigments 
Down to me, for my pleasure and well being  
And flickering to the north a dream has staggered into my view
A rainbow of opal fulgurous magic
It is alive and swallowing time
Aurora borealis you’re a vision of breathlessness 
I could spend forever ness rapped in your dance
