Saturn’s Dance

Upon this clear and mystical night

I have so often dreamt of Saturn gracefully dancing

Within an ocean in the sky- while the

Nighttime is gloriously illuminated by

Starlight and the essence of my delusiveness-

As I build flamboyant castles that

Scrape the atmosphere on a summer’s eve

Enlightened by my inner song-

The rings of Saturn spin

Blissfully and peaceably about and

I weep tears of amazement and delight.

Astounded by the phenomenal beauty of the evening

If I could touch the stars and

Make my home within a castle in the sky-

I would-

Upon awakening from this phantasmal trance

I have found myself detached from what is not truly real and

Weep sorrowfully-

Standing upon the highest mountain-

With the realization that my castles are

None but flight of the imagination-

Thunder claps as rain begins to fall in torrents-

I still can see the starlight bursting through dense thunderclouds,

The light of the full moon still is visible and

Saturn continues its revolution as is

It continues to be the most stunning planet in the universe-

Tears would transform to laughter as

The dawning of my realization comes to life-

Veracity can be as truly magnificent and as

Promising as stars and planets themselves-

The universe is a never ending miracle and

Actuality can be as strikingly beautiful as my dreams….
