Look To The Night Skies Poem by Robin Bennett

Starlight gaze-
now a platinum haze
points of light
awash on a canvas
of a lunar phase
dancing candles rich-
bask with blinding intensity
surely the heavens
wake to heed my wish

Constellations gather in force-
to battle for positions in night
eerie sterling colors
give images of dreams
within reach-
close enough to catch a star
far enough away to dream

Clouds take on a-
ghostly appearance this night
puffy, grey buttermilk billows,
line in a formed march
this eve is distinctive-
from sister nights past
beckoning my complete attention
message in hand

Erase thoughts that obscure my mind-
a once in a lifetime view
of heaven lands in my mind
reminding me simply

the answers were there all along...
