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.
