December Skies

Of cold and clear December skies, and wisplike clouds with deep, blue eyes. Full moon adrift with stars in tow, bright sheen and twinkle, night in flow. We savor this night's arcing sweep while strolling near our earthly keep, surveying vast, celestial spheres to learn your secrets, so austere. We stand and ponder heaven's glow now sharing light with earth below. Is vast long night and sleep our prize; are moon and stars omniscient, wise? Oh, moon and stars set on your course we ask you roveal your source, and share enigmas from the deep while we wait quietly for sleep. Full moon you seem in all ways wise. are stars the tears that night skies cry? December night's supernal show a calming scene, a fine tableau. December Skies 12-6-14

Nicely done Brian. I liked your choice of words in this. Very poetic indeed. The flow could be slightly better but your meanings and expressions really make the poem interesting to read. I enjoyed it much. Thanks Brian. Trevor

Thanks for commenting on December Skies, Trevor. I just found out how to reply to comments, LOL. You are perceptive. This was originally 3 stanzas to fit with paint onto a photograph I liked of a winter night sky. Later, I added two more stanzas and that did change the flow some. Thanks for the comment, Trevor!!
