Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Summer Stargazing

Novalunosis: the state of wonderment while gazing at stars

 

On a summer moonless night
when peace has settled and is still
the stars across the vaulted sky
no doubt is the most majestic sight

Much like a beacon calling out
its pull I feel tugs at my heart
there’s some connection that’s most primal
~ can’t really say what it’s about

I stand in speechless reverence and awe
and marvel at the universe’s vast expanse
my modest role is part of one big masterplan
~ there’s no other conclusion I can draw

I can relate to your feelings of "reverence and awe" gazing at the vaulted sky on a moonless night. A beautiful poem! Love ~ Mala
