In The Depth Of The Night (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

When in the night sky I see Arcturus high above
I know that the Bushmen see a woman that cries over a baby,
where blindly she tries to find him to embrace him again
and patiently still does wait to find that child,
where the Milky Way to them is a woman that wanted to grab the stars
but had to throw them away as white ash everywhere
and somewhere far away do hide for this deed
but every now and then she does again peep out.
I read in the Holy Word how God does bring out the zodiac
where through time and eternity He does find His own way,
do unravel Pleiades where that far off star does constantly orbit,
do set the nebulas with pulsars and do lead out the Bear
and where with all of this in wonder I do stand,
there is nothing in the entire universe that does slip past my Lord.
