Laid back on the couch of a grassy patch, <br />He gazes at the vastness of the sky, <br />His wandering gaze browses the cosmos high <br />The twinkling bodies his starry eyes match. <br />What thoughts then do pervade his pensive mind? <br />Is it the shallowness of our ambition? <br />– Restless, vain and borne by futile occasion, <br />Or is it simply some loving face kind? <br />The sky converses with the dazed beholder <br />As it mirrors the human world’s bargains, <br />Through billion bright beacons of the night, <br />The shining light conveys a hope still bolder – <br />To empty pails of losses and of gains <br />Into the sea of wisdom and insight.<br /><br />Sagnik Chakraborty<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-stargazer/
