You are far, far away
But your light lights my way
A serene iridescence
Hung in the distance
Above the mountain rim
At times, hidden behind eaves
Radiance unrivalled in full view
Lighting up the travelers’ path
You are creative burst for the poet
A symbol of dread for the superstitious
The temple of a lover’s heart
A fruition of cherished dreams
Standing upright among the winking stars
You shine as if there’s no end
Human vision cannot see
What worlds of wonder you hold
A silver globe of tender light
With myriads of mysteries inside
You are and will be
A subject for deep reflection
Beauty’s first definition
And love’s truthful expression.
