Oh evening star your bright clear ray
In joyous light I cast my gaze
The lunar queen she lights the way
To herald again the pristine days

The night sky on its mirrored brow
Is silent still……. no echo calls
The chilly air surrounds me now
My frosty breath around me falls

The souls of men enclosed I see
Are wrapped up in your mystic flow
On still clear nights they call to me
And disappear in mornings glow

And dashing out across the sky
A comet streak of promise passed
Burns a memory before my eye
A discharged wish that couldn’t last

Each twinkling of the star light beam
Showers the mystery from above
Bolts like icicles glint and gleam
A magical mesmerising web of love

This cradle sits in blue and green
Wandering lonely heavens paths
The destiny known remains unseen
A paradox of nature……. Laughs

The inhabitants upon this mystery boat
Seem unmoved by cosmic tides
When steeds of fire the mountains smote
The cataclysmic ending…….. rides

I’ve seen things in the clear night sky
The shadows of a time gone past
Why are men prepared to die?
Pursuing dreams to quick to fast

The mystery now unfolds …the keys
Lay around…. don’t look to far
In waves of light it comes to me
With a twinkling ………of a star

An extremely good use of discriptive words, I could see the image that you were painting and I like it. The real beauty is found within.

Jon;mesmerizing and sooo ethereal. beautiful
job here..       Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Your poem calls
for me to see,
The beauty that
The night sky brings.

Thanx Honey and Marge......well the cartoon was quite funny you know........but there's something about the moon tonight that makes me wanna sit down and write.
Write a verse just for you to see the sunshine trickling through.
For you see I've never seen such brightness from my 'puter screen.
