They twinkle, twinkle since birth for years, <br />Or vanish in strange ways, I’ve fears; <br />In countless numbers in clear blue Sky, <br />Fixed in this firmament, down they pry! <br /> <br />They appear one by one as you try, <br />Staring with intent, gazing at Sky; <br />The more you look, their numbers doth swell, <br />Beaming white light while simmering still. <br /> <br />Some gorgeously large as Morning-Star! <br />One can’t say how far away they are; <br />Stars laminate the Sky around the Moon; <br />By the light of Dawn, they are gone! <br /> <br />Some are light-years away from the Earth! <br />When seen by telescope, there ain’t dearth; <br />Stars conglomerate to form Galaxies; <br />The Sun is just one of these starry seas! <br /> <br />A Star-full Sky in azure back-ground; <br />What a treat to the eyes from the world! <br />A starless Sky hath not much beauty; <br />And laments with rain all o’er the Earth. <br /> <br />Why didst the Creator put them above? <br />Mute witness to His great work, behove; <br />Perhaps, they’ve this duty till Doomsday, <br />And hurtle down to destroy the world!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stars-stars-stars/
