Herbert Nehrlich - A Starry Night

2014-11-07 6 Dailymotion

It was as if the skies <br />had kissed this Mother Earth <br />so that her sparkling eyes <br />gave rise to precious birth. <br /> <br />A breeze drifts through the fields, <br />tall stalks sway softly, bright. <br />The dark of forests yields <br />a clear and star-lit night. <br /> <br />My soul daring to roam <br />flew up on gentle wings, <br />past castles of strange kings, <br />pretending to go home. <br /> <br />As Heaven was my goal, <br />when clinging to its back, <br />in clouds I lost my soul <br />and God found, it was black. <br /> <br />Now, hurled down to the ground, <br />condemned, forever banished, <br />there was a moon-lit sound <br />and all the stars had vanished. <br /> <br />Today I sleep in heather, <br />in meadows during nights, <br />and pray for stormy weather <br />to douse those star-lit nights.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-starry-night/
