DANCE OF THE SILKY SKY

DANCE OF THE SILKY SKY

 

Black silky swirls connect stars, planets

Surround billowy clouds with dust of cosmic hues

Orange, yellow, purple, azure

Lights up the dance of the universe

 

Moonbeams join in the chaos

Of extraterrestrial showtime

Hallmarks a goddess of fire

She circles the globe in a black silk robe

Renders passion, thunderous songs

She fears the earthly

Terrified of shrinking into oblivion

 

Showtime of the black sky halts

Goddess of fire burns to ash

Moon beams calm the waves

Stars twinkle like candle light

Cosmic dust settles on sleepy clouds

Night universe weeps, shrouded in silk

Author's Note

way out there.....

dearest Betty... the Sky is very Moody and let's us know when to look ahead and seek "shelter".
The Sky can also be joyful with sunshine and sonnets for romantic moods. There are times when the Sky is
mellow with the faintest tear drops. It has always been our GPS through the Storms of Life. It celebrates with a Rainbow when sorrow settles on the horizon of tomorrow. You have the touch of an Angel painting the Sky. gently, Pat

Dear Betty you have created some spectacular imagery in your stanzas of the night sky. A show time indeed with so much colour and movement. I would like to purchase a ticket along with Jacob, then we can compare notes :)

Interesting view of the daily trek of the sun in the amphitheater of the sky. Liked very much the image of the sun as a fiery goddess who circles the globe in a black silk robe. Had never thought of the night sky that way, but it works. The death of the fiery goddess sounds like something out of mythology. Thus do our days reenact the course of our lives.
