Symphony of Stars

With the moon as the conductor
The symphony of lights begins
As the heavens open in anticipation
Stars one by one come filing in

With each rhythmic starlight flicker
Keeping in tune with the galaxy
Entire planets hold their breath in wonder
From everlasting to everlasting nebula breeze

It all plays out in harmony
Keeping perfect 3/4 time
Such beauty not held by boundaries
Seen and heard light years through time

I love the stars and star poetry this is a beauty Mike. It never ceases to amaze me how everything is perfectly timed in the universe and yet some cannot believe in a Creator. Nice write!

I have seen it, Mike. I like the occasional glimpse of the Milky Way. Millions of stars, like a river. I obviously liked your poem. You had me daydreaming about stars.
