You Poet Of The Stars Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

You
You Poet of the Stars
Poet-Seer
How many nights will
You look face upwards
Gaze
At the night stars
Humble and still
Humble and still with tears in your eyes
That glisten as foreboders of a
Dawn?

Your mother is not with you.
I know.
I know.
And in that
In that
Poet of the Stars
I see mirrored your sad eyes
Your glistening eyes of tears
Sorrows one on one
In this life’s tragedy.

You need not Dawn.
You wish not Dawn.
But roaring Ocean nocturnal
Howling tempests and raking waves
And tremor after tremor in the
Earth
When ghosts and shrouds arise
And leave their tombs
When
Immortality turns back
And tempest upon tempest everywhere
Block out all Dawns.
There is your place.
There be your pulse.
And
In the silent fall-in of the stars
In to the Oceans bleak immense
Let me in favor with you descend
Then we be two and two be One
In those cold regions of the frozen sad
Till Earth revolve around a burning Sun.
