SOMBRE MEDITATION

When the worldly sky is darkest

Even on a waning 15th moon

I spend some time with the stars

Dimly lit but all near and far.

And we speak in our own silent ways

Talking of secrets witheld in space

For the time being.

And I meet many sages and saints

And beautiful maidens and handsome knights

Revelling in the tranquility

Which slowly hushes in announcing dawn

Coming in with all its soothing blue mantle.

I love the time spent thus

Under the unending canopy spread above...

And I know

Like those I meet and talk with daily

That I and my lady love

Will also one night to Pleaides go

And look at this earth from high there, above.
