Theatre of Stars

Theatre of stars

audience of light

beaming down on the sandy stage

Saucepan Plough rests on the horizon

star stew bubbling and frothing away

as the moon turns red

and the blue, tri-coloured sea sighs

as the moon turned to blood

the sea silenced the air

and where we dipped our toes

the sea is now black

the end is a sigh

Mother nature's third coming

the universe stops....... 

then whispering waters

flow forward

and skim over souls past

guiding, reminiscing, laughing, crying

a flip of silver tail and

the siren calls

plaiting her damp locks

on the craggy rocks

sand in solid form

open your arms

to embrace the space

in the theatre of stars

the sea cyclorama

hug the air

channelling carbon in a different form

look, a piece of you over there! and here!

anchor our souls in the sand

carbon on carbon

diamond dust

Master Flashstar blinks his eye

You're safe, he says,

come and race up the winding staircase, with grace

and watch the show
