withered tea flowers
beneath showering starlight
cast shadows on stones
♥
countless points of light
pierce the heavenly realm
pine cricket pauses
♥
deep atrous heaven
pearls glow against your vastness
dawning Christmas day
♥
orbs of falling stars
criss-crossing the planet’s sky
blazing their glory
♥
winter’s crescent moon
surrounded by brilliant stars
north wind spins the earth
♥
mountainous peaks
stretch craggy arms toward stars
first snow starts to gust
♥
river of heaven
swirling patterns of starlight
celestial stage
As we celebrate a time of light and festivities of the season, Toni asks us to write a poem on stars over at dVerse: http://dversepoets.com/2015/12/15/tonis-title-pending/
