Refracted through an atmospheric prism,
a gem of starlight strikes a human eye.
Product of a an ancient cataclysm,
an instant, just, to cast its beauty by,
the glimmer spans the vast abyss of sky,
a sailor on the aether from afar,
imperfect, insubstantial as a sigh,
yet perfect in the wonder that we are,
a twinkle in our eye, allowed to touch a star.
Draft 2
Refracted through an atmospheric ocean,
a gem of starlight strikes a human eye.
Transiting in timeless propagation,
an instant... just.. to cast its beauty by,
the glimmer spans the vast abyss of sky,
a sailor on the aether from afar,
imperfect, insubstantial as a sigh,
yet perfect in the wonder that we are,
a twinkle in our eye, allowed to touch a star.
Original draft...
Falling through the sky, in scintillation,
refracted starlight strikes a random eye.
Transiting in timeless propagation,
an instant, just, to cast its beauty by...
the starlight spans galactic arms to fly
down static paths of aether from afar,
imperfect, insubstantial as a sigh,
yet perfect in the wonder that we are,
a twinkle in our eye, allowed to touch a star.
