Today random lines.
…. ‘Stars grown old
In dancing silver-sandalled on the sea
Singing in their high and lonely melody.’
STARS
Old are we,
Older than ever you will be
We are ancient mariners of the sky
We twinkle and sparkle passing by
Listen closely to our siren song.
Like gems reflected in the ocean.
Meloncollic yet beautiful we sing
Moving your oceans with our silver string.
Old are we, ancient beyond your dreams.
Over you, we know your hopes and schemes.

‘the Ancient Mariners of the sky’ great phrase!

Bit of a Coleridge steel but it felt right!

The sky is like an ocean after all.
