Never
Ending,
Ever
bending,
The sky encircles
our world.
Never
failing,
Ever
sailing,
Her wonders
are unfurled:
The barer
of lights
On darkest
nights,
The sky
never sleeps.
The throne
of the sun,
'til day is
done,
‘round our
earth she creeps.
The joy of
the birds,
Her beauty
is beyond words...
Rain man
reaps,
When e'er
she weeps...
In a
circlet ‘round her ebony hair,
Rests a
swathe of milky stars.
She holds
in her hand the wonder of the planets:
Jupiter,
Venus, and Mars.
She dons a
veil of elegance,
Sometimes
silver-gray;
Or often a
gown of gentle blue,
On a lovely
Summer day.
Watching us
in life always,
Her
awesome, silky vastness,
The sky
goes on in a watery haze,
Most surely
and truly endless...
