Speaking not in tongues of men, ...sing muses from on high, Calling out to vespertine, ...to touch upon the sky. Venus, herald of the night, ...unveils her sparkling hue, As Jupiter unto the world, ...his glories does imbue. Last vestige of Lord Helios, ...Light King of daytime's realm, Cedes control to Luna's glow, ...Polaris at night's helm. A million stars heed heaven's call, ...twilight their rush to arms, While gentle beams of Pleiades, ...bestow their wond'rous charms. Gentle blush of eventide, ...paint streaks of purple-grey, As Orion leads his flocks, ...from thrust of day's foray. Across the heaven's comets soar, ...beneath the watchful eyes, Of Terpsichore and muses fair, ...transforming welkin skies. Serenity of summer's night, ...sing Lyra's lullaby, Splendor of a rising moon, ...in sky's transmorgrify. Night from forth her chambers rises, ...above a rising mist, Flows forth the tide of Milky Way, ...as earth by twilight kissed. [This message has been edited by Mike (edited 03-17-2001).] |

Gentle blush of eventide, ...paint streaks of purple-grey, As Orion leads his flocks, ...from thrust of day's foray. Thank you for such an entrancing poem, my friend. Splendid, as is your way of it. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

See ! There you go again ... 'Across the heaven's comets soar, ...beneath the watchful eyes, Of Terpsichore and muses fair, ...transforming welkin skies.' ... catching me in that welkin sky ! What you do to the sky ... is utterly celestial ... *complete with wings* ! God, I love this !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
