The Grand Design's Reply
THE SUN
"I hate it here," says the sun,
"I shine too bright.
My endless burning's never done,
You get to glide in the velvet nigt."
THE MOON:
"Your fiery voice I hear so plain,"
The Moon then whispered, soft and low,
"I paint the world with silver stain,
And secrets of the darkness know."
THE STARS (COLLECTIVE VOICE):
The stars blinked slowly, far and high,
"Your fleeting worries reach our ears,"
"We've watched emotions ebb and die,
And seen a universe of tears."
THE CONSTELLATIONS:
The ancient patterns, linked and bright,
"We are the shapes you learn to name,"
"A solace in the endless night,
A timeless, celestial game."
POLARIS (THE NORTH STAR):
From its high perch, so calm and fixed,
Polaris mused, "Your plights I note,
In the grand order, all is mixed,
Each plays a part, however remote."
THE WIND:
A murmur rose, then swirled and sighed,
"I roam the earth, I sweep the sea,
I've heard the planet's heart confide,
And every whisper comes to me."
NIGHT ITSELF:
Then Night unfurled, a calming drape,
"I gather all beneath my sway,
Offering weary souls escape,
From the harsh rigors of the day.
"THE EARTH
A rumbling voice from field and stone,
"I am the stage for all your play,
Your light and shadow I have known,
And welcome each returning day."
