The Matins
At 3 a.m. it comes to me;
the frenzy of the rhyme
in midnight madness liberty
set to the wind and chime.
I'm intimate with outer space
and I.S.S. up high
gleaming in an orbital pace
the shooting stars should try.
Just what the fuck is with their rush
of plummeting to burn
through such a dark and tranquil hush
where thoughts are free to churn?
A flashing mote within the eye
of providential sight,
when birdsong starlight seems to sigh...
before it bids goodnight ✨

Wonderful ode to nighttime. Creative thoughts do tend to thrive late at night for many of us. Beautifully worded write.
I have to get up at 5:15 AM during the school year. I keep waking up at that time even though I'm on summer break. When I retire, I suspect I'll write late into the night.

For years I worked graveyard and I would keep those hours on my nights off, just for sky watching.
For sure if I won the lottery I might never see daylight ever again:)

Dear MS,
There is so much we miss sleeping during the night. I enjoyed your spotlight on the beauty of a night sky. Your rhyming as per, is fabulous and so filled with awesome imagery. Lovely write. H🌷

Hello,
This poem is telling a tale on different levels, the way I see it it is from the visible and the invisible.
Stars have their ways. I enjoyed the read

Right?
I really wish I could travel back in time and study the Irish and Druidic bards and their relationships with nature.
Glad you liked it:)

Thanx!
Night is the way to go when looking for an environment tranquil enough to support uninterrupted thought.

It's always intriguing how the muse will come at any time, regardless of sleep or lack there of.
Nicely done.

Perhaps it's her way of ensuring that we lazy apes will get something done in spite of ourselves :)
