Bright Venus appears through window grill <br />Along with the un-twinkling lights of Bandra, <br />With the distant rumble of the train <br />Moving through the City Night Piece of Mumbai. <br /> <br />If I am not catching Jet Airways to Delhi at 6 <br />I would have walked my four kilometers <br />With two on the skywalk from Kalanagar, <br />And stopped at the turn near Mithi River <br /> <br />Searching for the two bright stars in the south <br />The Alpha Centaurii, and struggled hard to see <br />The Southern Cross to the west of them, <br />Three bright stars and Western arm, dim. <br /> <br />Whenever I trace it in the early dark morning, <br />I rejoice that even in the advanced North, <br />We get to see this Constellation, <br />Proof of the pleasures of astronomy, God's creation.<br /><br />Daniel Trevelyn Joseph<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/north-to-south-early-morning-view/
