STELLAR ROWS

 

Gagan Rism

 

With one pace of mankind

Stars droop down to earth

No matter how they exist above

Acquiesce — gently along hearth

 

Jewels of light on this night

With no moon in horizon above

By tiny palms and earthen clays

Came resting — dispel the gloom

 

Aeons ago a m an incarnate

Brought glory to the hum an race

Annihilated heathen powers

Set on knees the crippled man

Once again.

 

To this day adage goes thus:

For every murk there twinkleth a Sun

If clouds of despair

Conspire and camouflage

With temporal palms pluck

Stars to earth.
