The high stars
in the black sky
On a wide ocean
Light a scene
Of play on stage
In three acts ere
the curtains are
Drawn for a new.

Thank you, Verronica 🙂 I love the image of the vast ocean and the ship sailing into the galaxy of the unknown in the background of the transient reality. I want to describe the finiteness of earthly life in the landscape of the infiniteness of the universe. 🙂 Still, I wanted to portray it in a few words, which your artistic sensibilities have caught 🙂
