A Wink Above a Grin

A Wink Above a Grin

The night was yet a dark blue sphere afar
With silver rimmed around, the moon slid sly
A smile beneath the flaming morning star
A wink above a grin up in the sky
Combined they sprinkled luminescence free
Upon my path, delineating lines
Of common things, the way discovery
With sudden clarity the world defines
I found my footsteps lighter, feeling young
Amid the ancient heavenly light, the wheel
Of plough and star a bright phenomenon
Humanity can infinitely feel
Although a path unchanging I am bred
Beneath my feet to keep, my hand to ply
An unimaginative trade, I tread
The Milky Way upon a darkened sky
As dawn's horizon cuts a silver curve
To edge the dark immense blue sphere above
The moon a smile beneath a flaming star
A wink above a grin up in the sky
