Recitation of the Constellations

A nocturnal phenomenon When the sun falls from the heavens And we begin the recitation of the constellations And chart your wisdom in the fourth dimension To a constant navigation of hearts that burn brighter Yearning for the truth, for love and romance The reason why diamonds even matter An eternal patience to watch man’s evil deeds and not utter a word And witness in a profound silence, his hunt and insatiable greed ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** The stars only exist for stars to exist - to shine with all their might Man is a sickness, and unintended by-product of the star dust Our freewill seeks to impose itself on their brilliance Through astronomy and astrology seeking the stars' guidance Their light into our lives like a multitude of eyes gives us significance Twinkling like a blinking eye, winking to give us reassurance The sphere of the night sky like a wide open eye Watching over us like the Gods by name we forever praise The faith to someday also our souls raise
