Stars

A poem lovely as a star
will not be found, not near or far;

though I may read earth’s brilliant lines,
search out our galaxy’s confines,
 
there are not words that can express
a star’s incredible excess
	
of beauty where she twinkles bright
upon the breast of velvet night.

We must forever be content
just viewing the celestial tent

with the myriad lovely stars
uncaptured by such words as ours.
