What awaits beyond

Sleep amongst the stars
Lover’s eyes gaze upon you
What awaits beyond
.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Stars caress the sky
Holding Heaven in their arms
Eternal lovers
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The sun, moon and stars
Watch wide-eyed in amazement
Foolishness of man
.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The silvery moon
Waits for heaven to call her
Mystical suitor

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Night under the stars
Jewels garnish heavens cloak
Royal Majesty
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The greatest of loves
Need no words to so express
Written in the stars

Stars, an audience–they look down and laugh,
We stare back jaw slacked, eyes of wonder.
How foolish they must find us,
Our mountains out of molehills;
Stressing and straining over our tiny little lives.
Nothing mortal could compare to that of the universe!
Keeping all of those glorious stars twinkling,
Brightening the slate black sky.
How tired the heavens must be
Inspiring romance, hopes, dreams,
The joining of lovers,
Receiving only occasional recognition.
What do we give in return?
Nothing–we continue to take
Just as we have always done,
Just as we will always do.
Perhaps the stars look upon us as the children we are.
Spoiled yet naive to the ways of this world.
To these sages we look for heavenly guidance
Offering prayers for blessings imagined.
This is in our nature
Looking for the Divine in that which we cannot touch.
Who has not looked skyward and begged for mercy,
Beckoned for release from an ill fate,
Cried out for intervention?
We think ourselves the center of all,
Master of our domain–independent, indestructible
Until we are overwhelmed, broken and drowned in tears.
Then we look out upon the vast audience above
Putting on the grandest of shows for their pleasure,
Hoping, praying for accolades
And furtherance from the stars.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Pearls in the nighttime sky,
Surely they must be the light of angels.
Visible to the mortal eye,
Things of myth and divine fables.
Twinkling hope from up above,
Promising man a life here after.
Quieting the mind and heart with love,
Giving joy with bouts of laughter.
Adhara, Nashira, Mira, Alcyone,
Shining from the heavens beyond.
Watching, protecting ‘til time on earth is done,
Guiding their charges to the calm.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Brilliant stars
A sliver of moon
Magical
Perfection
I can see heaven from earth
What could be better

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The crystal black night
Virgin canvas for the stars
Masterpiece awaits
