Quiescence of The Stars

By Deepti Belliappa Ganapathy

Gazing up at the night sky I see,

The soulful moon speaks to me. 

She pours her heart with much hope,

The quiescence of the stars  is hard for her to cope. 

In a universe that is bustling with glittering cheer,

The quiescence of the stars is an unsettling fear. 

Defying gravity as the universe creates a canvas so rare,

Every planetary object has a role to prepare.

The brightest star or the biggest there is,

Make a wish that one must not miss. 

Just like humanity, stars have a life span that counts,

So the quiescence of the stars knows no bounds. 

The same pattern keeps families as one,

But acrimonious equations create quiescence of the stars and that's no pun. 

Often a discord or a conceit driven silence we see,

Drifted apart, human equations often broken till eternity! 

Together we rise, divided we fall,

Mankind must learn a mantra for all. 

The quiescence of the stars must be unmuted for sure,

A dialogue will engage the heart and mind with cheer
