Garbage Beneath The Heavens Poem by Nick krakana

Garbage Beneath The Heavens



I went out tonight 

To put the garbage away


And everything was OK



The sky was clear no clouds were near

Everything's OK



There was a star 
out in the east

Growing larger than bakers yeast


The weather network 
Pointed it out to be
Planet Jupiter
 looming large upon darkness charge



I looked around 
there was not a sound

Only a jet at 35 high
 I wondered
Do stars seem closer up there



Everything's still OK



This scene has never changed its way

The ways of heaven
 are there to stay


What do you think
Is this the way things will always be

The most complex of simplicity

Man with his simple wisdom

Can not change this heavenly tapestry


This is the way it was meant to be



And everything's OK

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The frosty October sky's in Northern Ontario serves as a magnifying glass of sorts a wondrous tapestry, unique like a fingerprint or face in a crowd, like this crowd on high.
