Starry Night

My imagination, my creativity
Take flight this starry night
To the edges of the Universe
That understands me.
For who will comprehend as the
Vast cosmos spoken into existence
Unknown eons ago
Pens her poems across the nighttime sky
With the brilliant tails of shooting stars?

Oh! Come to me everlasting starlight
A gentle embrace, infuse my soul
With your poetry
Dawn approaches
I awake!
