The Celestial Sky

 The Sun:

“Brighter than fire,

With glow that’s kind,

With warmth and no ire,

And souls arise.

 

I am man’s main hope,

A focus of elation,

I have seen all that arise,

And all that have fallen,

And will see again,

Till times own culmination.

 

For it is my job,

Nay, it is my joy,

To be the center of all life,

I am the Sun, to humans:

The most benevolent. ”

 

The Moon:

“Fickle is my Nature,

Yet periodic I am.

The life of the night sky,

Joyful I am.

 

I wax in my Glory,

I wane in my sorrow,

Alas, sometimes, I am

Completely shadowed,

Yet I rise, wax again,

For I believe in ecstasy is not mine to keep.

 

I am the lord,

The king of the night.

I represent man’s fortune:

I wax and wane,

Yet am remembered for the best”

 

 

The stars:

“Millions We are,

Nay, it is zillions,

We bedeck the heavens,

Like a zillion pearls.

 

We shine, We sparkle,

 We adorn the skies,

Like innumerable joys

Twinkling in the dark,

Giving hope,

Whenever one is lost.

 

We stand not alone,

But with plethora of brethren,

Our existence not our own,

But to complement our brethren,

And so We reflect, the most important aspect,

Of human society: Brotherhood.”

 

The Earth:

“Mother I am called,

By my innumerable children,

I care for all,

With equal affection.

 

Without bias or favor,

With love and regard,

I care for all,

Irrespective of their deeds,

Their character or behavior,

I nourish them.

 

For I believe,

That virtue is one’s own,

Not one is the same to other,

But all unique glittering gems,

I show the humans, hoping the understand

All are created for life’s own purpose.”
