The myriad
stars - diamond points of night-
Make a great
journey across the sky;
Day’s spoked
and beautiful columns of light
Are majestic
ladders descending from high;
Behind the
gentle waft of zephyr breeze
Is the
wind’s vast, relentless, shifting heft;
Within the
shimmer of the glistening seas
Is the
eternal crash on cliff and cleft.
In mystery
and wonder we stop and stare,
Search for
meaning, a firm rock of belief,
And seeing
the shooting star’s final flare
Or the
spiralling flutter of a falling leaf,
Meditate
upon vast Time’s eternity
And fleeting
life’s momentary brevity.
