The Celestial Library

Perched atop the water tank

I see myself reading the advesperating sky.

 

The Sun is an epic prose

A novel whose closing pages

Paves way for lunar poetry.

 

Gently appearing sidereal companions

Help the moon bedeck the firmament

With fluorescing nocturnal rhymes.

 

The lyric of the breeze

Gently buffets the homing birds

As they arc their way nest-wards.

 

At the other end of the horizon,

Roving cloud mail-men

Drop pluvious letters of love

 

As sky’s telluric lover

The earth laps up the romantic missives

And reads it with fragrance.

 

A few forgotten sentences

Find themselves suspended mid-way.

 

But connive with the

Crimson chapters of the novel

To concoct one final act of play.

 

The arched heptad of characters

Illuminate the bibliotheque

With a mystical drama,

 

The darkening cerulean Vista

Pans out in full glory

Best seen in solitudinous recumbence.

 

The sky is a celestial library

Craving for more bookworms.
