Stars

On dark nights

Lost in alien

Lands,

In the midst of

Hugging shadows

And mysterious howls

Coming from desolate

Wilds,

The brave adventurer plods on,

Under a star-lit sky;

You,

 The glittering

Heavenly bodies

Guide the wayfarers

Both on the hill

Or in the vale

To their destinations sought;

The twinkling stars

Merrily

Spread cheers

Among lonely hearts,

Tossing on cold beds,

Their bright lights in a

Vast infinity called a sky,

Tucked with a bright disc

Humans call the moon,

Create a marvelous scene:

Diamonds in the sky,

Illuminating space,

And a waxing/waning moon

Produce nightly

Multi-hued light-patterns,

Laser, low-intensity

Or a stellar haze

Emitted by the clusters

Glowing in the sky,

A stunning visual show

Not replicated anywhere on the

Earth, by human hands,

The tender milky light

Dispersed,

Balms the fevered

Urban minds,

Obsessed with Sensex

And stock exchange.
