August

So far above and endlessly streaming

Tiny bodies of light

Elucidates time and space

A boundless legion of spheres

Suddenly migrates so near

Before my eyes they flash and fleet

The marvel of epic effusion;

Has gathered from infinite networks

In a great ethereal illusion

Each; once part entity

Then falling in a regal fidelity

Far from their province of birth

Final orbit is exodus; charging the night sky

Though there be above ravaging storms

I am nurtured and protected by august

And the stars falling there adorn
