A different white light, in a star filled sky

Illuminated by night, as it drifts on by

A glow in the dark, shining down upon us

Leaving its mark, soon disappears, and thus

Hides the greatness, of Jupiter’s might

Til it shines in the lateness, again, ever bright

Space, the lines on the paper
These are the scribbles of the Night Owl Poet
Her never-ending mission
To explore strange new words
To seek out new verse
And new split-infinitives
To boldly go where no poet has gone before

(Cue bizarre sounding music)

I fly through words, origins unknown
As I wander around my place
I’ve tried to use them all, you see
But they clutter up my space

Tossing papers, crumpled wads
Leaving poems, quite unfinished
I’d rather watch the stars go by
As my thoughts have now diminished

I need to leave this planet, Earth
Find a home, where I can survive
Then I can write, about the night
I landed, on Ceti Alpha Five!

They loved to call her Shadow
Blending in, with foreign sands
Dressed in black, she is darkness
Sharpened sword, held in her hand

She fights the voices, defiantly
They speak evil, to her mind
Wicked thoughts, aplenty
Still, she seeks, until she finds

Wisps of dust, twirling round her
In this place, behind the moon
She watches them create this world
Made up of endless dunes

Trapped inside the sands of time
Caught, in a lasting drought
Shadow returns to her darkness
In the valley of her doubt

We have but one

To call our own

No others allow

Our Earthly form

A heavenly body

Of living things

Floating

Around a brilliant star

We circle

As each days passes

For twenty four hours

We move

An endless orbit

Night into day

And day returns

Once again

Until our final hours

Our planet remains

A place we call home

Shining in the Western Sky
The Star of Beauty ever Bright
Illuminating Darkness
Venus, on this Cloudless Night

Sharing in her Splendor
Huddled high in Evening Pitch
Seven Sisters gather near
To Captivate, Bewitch

Celestial, Alluring
Beguiling is their Sight
High in the Heavens up Above
Divine in Everlasting Light

 

For all the stargazers:  Look in the Western sky and you’ll find Venus and to the right of her, the Pleiades cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters.  Enjoy the nights with these beautiful lights.
