look up

 The gibbous moon slides over east

Seen soon after sunset 

Approaching Mars waiting there

As a bright red fixture in November 


Filling last week's crescent moon

That appeared in the southwest 

Passing near paired Jupiter and Saturn 

Posing like partners in Autumn 


Learning to look up and identify 

What few points of light are bright enough 

To be seen through the electric night 

To witness the shifting slow motion


December promises a convergence 

As Jupiter and Saturn cross paths 

Going on their wandering way

A comforting constant above us


Though the magnificence of deep space 

Glittered with billions of stars

Remains hidden in past worlds

Unless you are very far from city life 


When not much is visible in the night sky

My task is simpler trying to learn 

What is up there flying in the distance 

Unknown unless your eyes go there
