Stars

a poem by Mithun Mukherjee

Glittering diamonds
On a dark sea
of endless expanse
shining out and reaching endless reaches
often influenced by a white mist
of the moon
And they,
miles away
at the edge of creation
influence mankind, influence us?
We believe in the animate forms
that these diamonds create;
shaping our lives, moulding our future.
And blame them
for uncanny occurrences
one can rather trust fate
than blame these twinkling angels;
guiding us through times eternal
taking us,
leading us through the jungle called Life.
