Exceptional Quatrains Natural Light : Star Trails by estory

Stars like jewels in deep, dark pools Shimmering at the stroke of midnight In the distance and the silence That will outlast us Stars drawing pictures in the sky Above the ancient mountains Like empty arms and silent music Hinting at the mysteries of the blossoms Falling to the Earth like light Beginning the journey of a thousand footsteps Across the distant stepping stones of heaven And Across the endless years of time Stars spreading out the destinations in the skies And spreading out the furthest reaches of the blue And spreading out the dreams of the dreaming trees In the deep sleep of the depths of winter Stars dancing the dance of darkness And lighting the clouds above the moonlit oceans Tracing out the shapes of faces And whispering something in the sacred silence Author Notes In this poem, I tried to capture the mysteriousness of the night sky, the mysterious and timeless feel of it; the constellations, trying to tell their stories of love and challenge and hope and loss; the mysterious silence of it, the awe inspiring immensity of it. Space is older than we are, and the distances in it are beyond what we can fathom; and in all that, our imagination runs wild. estory
