Poem from Beryl Henshaw

25th August 2021

OTHER WORLDS

As I gaze into the night

At the stars above all shining bright

The planets whirling round in space

In their allotted time and place

I contemplate the beauty of

The sparkling lights in the sky above

Space and matter far away

In their given place they stay

Eternity is in our sight

As we contemplate a star filled night.

Beryl Henshaw 2016
