Popular Poems About the Universe

The evening sky blushes through my window
between twilight and darkness we lie, looking out
waiting for the stars through the
leafy silhouettes of palm tress

I try to teach you all the names
of the creeping constellations
but you make up your own
giggling into the deepening sky

We are so small under the burning tendrils of light
and so blessed to see them, and name them at all

In the corridors of thought
where shadows white is sublime
wheels of memory spin
in circles they turn
whispers of forgotten dreams
linger in the air.

Faces in the mirror
reflections of the past
moments fleeting by
too precious to outlast
colors of emotion
in a kaleidoscope's embrace.

Echoes of a heartbeat
in the silence of the night
thoughts like scattered leaves
take their secret flight
twirling like a dance
on the edge of the unknown.

Threads of golden memories
woven...
