Song of the Stars
October 13, 2018
How should but a low star subdue the soul?
Cosmoses melodies to me they lull.
Consuming, Captivating! Conquering,
Unfinished pictures, bewildered mortals
Saturn’s rings 'round their head— lay on Death’s bed.
Devotion; a shrine— rest her crescent moon,
An addiction be Martian red, passion
Bursts in longing. Fingers partial brushstrokes
A painter in this world as God invoked.

For as long as I can recall, my heart had yearned to meet the celestial bodies which have captivated my soul and being. Song of the Stars is a written representation of the internal desire I experience; the call I receive daily whenever my eyes are met by the heavenly figures resting in the sky which so clearly embody deities and the beating of one's heart at the same time.
