Stars Harvest the Darkness

Stars harvest darkness for their light Between the recesses, silences require quiet As required by the distances tracked Immeasurable across the universal black There is plenty of time for gravity to settle down In the recesses between the quiet of the silences Where worlds are not the same below the formed New planets come in the company of moons Rounding out the day as solids do Solids know their way around the universe Coming in to land wherever land is smooth Polished stones on rolling waves arrive on time As old as time, touched by the softest brush To find the right conclusion in the tides Lightning dazzles spectators in the rain Camped in the forest by the rivers edge Swept away by tidal forces rising mighty Still thrilled at the chance of getting wet And then there are the doomed Among the solitary intruders in the worlds And nights are always there to find solutions In the beginning where rocks were formed Gathered up from dust among the clouds of nothing Minerals watched with minimal concern As nature has the final word though worlds apart Stars harvest darkness for their light Between the recesses, silences require quiet As required by the distances tracked Immeasurable across the universal black
