The Brightest Star

THE BRIGHTEST STAR To view the brightest violent star, that glints and glitters from it's scar. It's life is burning, blurred and far, we cannot know, just where they are. The brightest star takes breath and lives, in sparks and flares, it dusts through sieves. From a faint galaxy home, it gives, a joy and bliss, it winks and lives. Delightful in which one contemplates, It is our neighbor that winks and waits. Away our breath it reels and takes, and puzzles us with the home it makes. Refracted, Diffracted, Inflected light, splayed from slight of eye to sight of site. Tucked in berth, by birth, to be in flight, Camouflaged the brightest star in white.

I like this one. Full of wonder and admiration. I wish I lived somewhere a little less...populated, so I could see the full majesty of the night sky. Unfortunately, city skies are far dimmer than those of the country. Thanks for sharing this one. -G

I'm just finding out that PS no longer sends one notification for every reply! YIKES. So have found several unanswered from early May. I always reply & now I've learned that I must check. Thank you SO MUCH for your Review of this! I am into Astronomy and Physics so my interest is great but the living in a very dark, clean air, rural area really does make one a Skywatcher. I am, of course, delighted you enjoyed this! I want to give readers the very sky I get to see!
