the night time sky
April 26, 2005 by randomguru
the stars
twinkle so peacefully
the gentle evening
so calm and perfect
while mortal men
wage war and plunder lands
the universe seems quiet and true
while lovers quarrel
and families feud, there
is but the north star, so
serene, and shimmering…
while the politics of men
corrupt and cause entanglements
the constellations twinkle
quietly in the night
while the greed of man
builds up walls and barriers
falling stars cascade down
from the sky
while the human condition
brings much sorrow and suffering
the awesome view of the universe
expands before our eyes
there is but the night time sky
so quiet, so peaceful
i look to the heavens to this tranquil solitude
i dwell in the cosmic splendor that exists above me
and wishing we can all stop for just one moment
and find some peace in the night time sky

what a beautiful poem. i love the stars and now everytime i look in the night time sky. i’ll hope that other people around the world will look at that same set of stars and find a moment of peace… beautiful poem carlos
of course, your words are so nice to hear. thank you, annie!
i can feel that i’m gently falling from this state of grace, this inspiration? but i know these creative thoughts come and go… like the tide.
or i just may need a rest…. ;)
