mystery of the night

one night i was just sitting on my varandah and there was the epiphany for this right in the sky

 i stare at an eternal abyss 

of blackness , little peculiar lights twinkle 

in the vast infinite darkness.

an uncanny fog covers 

some of the little lights, blinking like a fairy light  

what is this mystery i stare at ?

it's like  a solitary abyss men are enchanted  by her beauty 

mystified by her glory 

mesmerized by its infinite dept 

its the marvel of the night  

its truly a wondrous sight  

it can be seen from any height 

anyone can see it , just venture outside , and look up high!. 

Author's Note

one should adapt the scope to read this at night it has more power then , aesthetic and general beauty can be found in everything around us we just need to open our minds to a liberal sense of beauty instead of a customized one..

I actually just gone done sitting outside and staring up at the sky, watching the trees, feeling the wind, and then I came in to finish my read requests and had the pleasure of reading this. It is moving and well written, thank you for sharing it!

Liked it Peter as it is a description of something we all tend to take for granted till the moment we are staring at it. Would drop the word 'high' from the last line as it feels it somehoe devalues it?

when i lived in Virginia, on our 33 acre farm the most wonderful thing about it was that at night there was no light pollution from nearby streets or homes or even a city....so the night sky was fantastic! when there was no cloud cover you could see every star, every constellation, every twinkle and shooting star...and many planets. i feel you on this write, believe me! well penned.....

thanks bro i spent days in the essquibo river in my homeland of guyana i also know what you mean about the stars in those area's , i wish i could go their again to just write a poem of how the moon reflects upon the still water :)

i do miss those lazy nights on the farm, we had a pond at the edge of the property, fully stocked with bass and bream and turtles....beautiful at night as well...and the sound of frogs and crickets..whew!

Man's hungers for the beauty of mystery and the mystery of beauty know no bounds.
Your lovely poem well illustrates those innate hungers.
Very fine work, Peter!
