Night Sky In March

Greet the winsome poise of equinox
Staging day and night equally apart
Welcoming spring as winter departs
While moon enthralls doting hearts
In twinkling dance of sparkling stars
Strumming strings of astral orchestra.

Fall in love with heavenly stellar dream
As Milky Way floats on starlit stream
Riding ebullient waves of celestial sea
In colors and shapes of mystical artistry:
Zodiacal themes constellations gleam~
A painting hanging on walls of galaxy.

Search up-high for Mercury and Mars
Rejoicing in path of spectacular charm,
Meteor showers, airglows, and sparks,
Brilliant colors refracting dusty storms,
And a smile embellishing cusp of dawn:
Conspicuous posture of Venus above,

Eloquently posing as-if a morning star,
Goddess of love for romantic hearts,
Envious of Polaris~ the northern star,
Unwilling to cede to sun’s entourage
Glistening amber horizon of rosy arc
Sparkling winsome posture of equinox.
