Dazzling Milky Way, where are you from?

Unfathomable mystery,

unknown possibility

Tempting us to know you, comprehend you

Like the eyes of God

Twinkling in the dark universe

Or the most beautiful carnelian

Exhibited by the omnipotent creator

I gaze at the Milky Way

My soul has fallen into it

Loitering from star to star, planet to planet

I can see

Goddesses traveling on it

The tears they drop

Meteors across the sky

© Jennifer K., Richmond, CA

The author's comments:

The poem was written when I looked up at the starry sky at night. The sky was peppered with twinkling stars, creating a magnificent scene.

Favorite Quote:
“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.” <br /> ― Ernest Hemingway
