Star Dancing

He casts his shadow into star-field
to wander among constellations
his sign still remains a mystery
is Aquarius from water signs
or maybe Taurus the bull
no matter his shadow moves along

In the distance she casts her shadow
one part is cusp Gemini the twins
the other is Cancer the crab
she moves through Orion the hunter
and Monoceros the unicorn
best of all Aquila the eagle

Each shadow moves through the star clusters
drawing closer in the milky way
ancient music sings from star to star
romantic waltzes of eternity
bringing them together Star Dancing
Crater the goblet quenches their thirst

Throughout the night their shadows are joined
moving together in perfect time
to songs written in the beginning
bringing together cosmic lovers
who find a way to express feelings
joined in Celestial Star Dancing

Had me moving right along with the two shadows, Karen. Fantastic thought patterns within this beauty.

The stars are amazing, especially when they dance for you.  I always love your imagery.

Beautiful presentation of the beauty of the stars.
Those metaphors are wonderful and enhance the appreciation so much. Love the following...

"Each shadow moves through the star clusters
drawing closer in the milky way
ancient music sings from star to star
romantic waltzes of eternity
bringing them together Star Dancing
Crater the goblet quenches their thirst"

Also once again exposes your open expressive heart.
Write on!
