North To South - Early Morning View Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

North To South - Early Morning View



Bright Venus appears through window grill
Along with the un-twinkling lights of Bandra,
With the distant rumble of the train
Moving through the City Night Piece of Mumbai.

If I am not catching Jet Airways to Delhi at 6
I would have walked my four kilometers
With two on the skywalk from Kalanagar,
And stopped at the turn near Mithi River

Searching for the two bright stars in the south
The Alpha Centaurii, and struggled hard to see
The Southern Cross to the west of them,
Three bright stars and Western arm, dim.

Whenever I trace it in the early dark morning,
I rejoice that even in the advanced North,
We get to see this Constellation,
Proof of the pleasures of astronomy, God's creation.
