Starlight Reflection

the hourglass worries me not for its eternal sands fall not onto glass but upon the silver beach that reaches under the liquid petticoats of your beloved ocean by which i stand on this night of stars lost in the constellation of cancer

Awesome beauty in this piece of poetry! However, my husband is born under the sign of cancer, and he would look up and say "We need to put the patio furniture away...looks like it's going to rain!" (He's not a poet...just a practical man!) Ahhhh...to live with someone with more romance in his soul...as in this poem...ahhh! Lovely, Nigel!! :) Love, Carrie
