Ode To Stars {sonnet} I Poem By Miraya
Ode To Stars
A tapestry of diamonds pinned on black,
They shimmer in the velvet ,vest and deep,
While guiding weary souls along the track,
And watching over all the world n sleep.
Each light a ghost from years long ago,
A burning map across the silent sea,
They teach the drifting universe to glow,
In patterns written for eternity.
We look above to find a distant spark,
A flicker that defies the heavy gloom,
To write our own small story in the dark,
And chase the shadows from a lonely room.
Though we are tethered to the dusty earth,
We hold the fire that gave the cosmos birth.
~ Miraya Sethia
