Short Elaborately Poems

Poetic dreamer, elaborately creative

A celestial dance
 elegantly takes chase
in a brilliant display
a cosmic embrace.
Illuminating time
in a labyrinth of space.
Swirling, spinning,
intricately showcased.

Precise and majestic
it's creator divine. 
Infinite, lovely

Day to night nature is dappled from higher-up
