somewhere west
of Perseus
starlight reshapes
cosmic crests
and Eagle nests
in a cloud of gas
against the crystal
double-dark of night
pillars of dust
far hotter than fire
guard a new measure
of infinite stars ...
the cool moon hums
an arabesque lullaby
against tides
of the incoming dawn

your words themselves look so stark,, so cold,, and yet they paint a very alive visual picture... how do you do that????
Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. This is my kind of poem :)
Wonderful my wise word wizard. You never fail to amaze.
I could meditate with this - it takes me out of this world! Beautiful..
Beautiful - I especially like the last stanza, it sings.
I agree. It sings!
cawing
The title was perfect: you had me at M16 ;-}.

The poetry is wonderful but it's your words that really grabbed me. Just such a great collection of words
"arabesque lullaby" and "incoming dawn" just tickled my brain! How do you always manage to use the right words? Amazing!
