To truly see the stars and moon
one must rely on a special lens
its beauty makes poets swoon
inking words with a lover's pen
Zooming in with a telescopic eye
getting closer to the unreachable
gasping at the wonder of the sky
heaven's magic seems UN-attainable
Yet, I find myself surrounded by light
enchanted by the whip-poor- will song
breathing in the warmth of the night
here, I will dream until the break of dawn

Thank you for visiting - May you embrace the beauty before you!
It does a person good to do some stargazing. Lots of magic there.
ReplyDeleteBest have mosquito spray if the night is spent.

Jim, I do enjoy stargazing! If you are lucky, you might see a shooting star passing through the bug dipper.
DeleteIt would have been fun to be caught in the open but with a strong telescopic aid to wander through the night sky! Love your poem, True!

Hank I do have a telescope and use it occasionally to gaze at the wonder in the heavens. But, one can still stargaze with the naked eye. Who knows there may be a dragon out amongst the stars.
DeleteI love the idea of a special lens, Truedessa, and ‘inking words with a lover's pen’. The final stanza had me swooning too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim! Thats special lens is magical.
DeleteBeautiful and dream-like.
ReplyDeleteThank yo Alex! I am always hopeful to see a dragon in the stsrs.
DeleteI like what you have done with this picture. This line says it all:

Thanks Dwight, I think as a stargazer the wonderment keeps me reaching for the light.
DeleteYou've captured the magic of the moon. I especially love this..."enchanted by the whip-poor- will song / breathing in the warmth of the night"
ReplyDeleteThank you Mish for hosting. Surrealism is always entertaining for my muse.
DeleteThe rhyme and rhythm of this poem is really lovely. I love "gasping at the wonder of the sky" which I have spent a lifetime doing!
ReplyDeleteThe sky is definitely gasp worthy…
DeleteWe do need that special lens. Love your heavenly take.
ReplyDeleteThe night is full of enchantments.
ReplyDeleteStargazing is indeed magical 🙌
