The Thoughts of the Stargazer
Like a velvet cape
It drapes down onto the corners of the Earth
Sweeping us under its glorious darkness
A peaceful one, not gloomy nor angelic
Just dark, the perfect night
One that reminds us of a soft song
Which echoes in our childhood
The velvet cape glimmers with the wind
Speckles of light which pokes through the holes
Dull light tries to reach the ends of the ground
But many fail to beat the dark
There may be one or two
Which shines like a sweet memory
A story to be told within the night,
Of the battles of heroes and the death of some
And how the stars took their mantles
To gather the words and souls of the stories told by man
And create patterns of phenomenon
All I can do is wonder
As I sit down on this chair,
gazing at the velvet cape and its few speckles
What do they think of us?
The ones all the way here
On the very bottom, who can only gaze up
And wonder about the glorious fantasies
That happen way above our very reach.
