Inspired by Carl Sagan's Cosmos, a mood poem about the night sky, and the forthcoming lunar eclipse.
Songs of the Night Sky
Comes the blood moon, all-glorious above,
The goddess Selene, with blessings and love
A sign in the night sky, from ancient of days
Wonder and adore her, give her your praise
The stars in their courses, with majesty, grace
Diadems in the heavens, in backdrop of space
Deep nebula glow, as the stars come to form
Black hole at our centre, with gravity’s storm
The moon is for poets, for tongue to recite
And perigree comes, so bright with its light
It shines on the hills, and over the plain
And between the clouds, that bring us the rain
The vastness of space, we are so small, frail
So quick are our lives, a heartbeat to fail
Stars shine above, at our birth and our end
And moonbeams caress, in night sky our friend
In darkness came light, it blazes with love
The planetary spirits bright shining above
The Milky Way galaxy, with glory ablaze,
Stars twinkle in darkness, singing with praise!
