How the sure silence of night is revealing all

How the sure silence of night is revealing all
the stars! Watch as the golden planets begin

to reveal themselves at dusk, observe the real
and epicyclic motion of Mars and Venus

as they retrograde. In some schools, they call
those planets personal. The dusk separates

the day from the night, the Sun is the tonal
center for a raga revolving. I'm hearing melodies

from east and west, the fixed sound of the wall
makes echoes of the birds. The open spaces!

How much can fly ideas! I've known the trials
of love and grown from it, the same sentimental

love that moves the Sun and the other stars.
