High in the black sky <br />Like a bright moving red star <br />A lonely airplane ploughs the night <br />A blinking rhyme of ruby light <br />Crossing the dark <br />Between the twinkling diamonds <br />Of the constellation Ursa Major. <br /> <br />The yellow crescent <br />Of the curious moon <br />Stares down on the orphan earth <br />And I wonder whether its <br />Clement melodious rays <br />Will console your gentle soul <br />And bring solace to your solitude.<br /><br />Paul Hartal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dark-sky-2/
