Another illustration from the book, ‘The Story of the Sun, the Moon and the Stars’ inspired this cascade poem. My eyes are still full of the night sky of the countryside, so full of stars there’s hardly any darkness.

To go where stars unstick and fall,
And catch a fragment in the hand,
Star horses in celestial fields.
Into the night without a light,
I swoop and soar a rocket ship,
To go where stars unstick and fall.
My dearest wish to catch the tails,
Of comets shooting through the void
And catch a fragment in the hand.
Burning bright, the sky’s alight,
With falling stars of splendid dreams,
Star horses in celestial fields.
