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 🙂

        Although I am extremely far from the title “a great writer of all ages,” knowing that you hold me in high esteem brightens my day! 😉
