Celestial Orchestrations by Scott UtleyI once witnessed
A brilliant platinum galaxy
Abruptly vanish
Into a hovering cloud
Of dense
Erotic black
*
I saw a stunning world
Hanging on a mid-night sky
Like a black pearl
A world
Just as ravishing
As our very own cobalt orb
Explode
Into lava-red flames
Then cease to exist
*
I was once
A butterfly who loved
To dance in circles
To the beat of the sun
*
I've been charmed
By the ruby-red eyes
Of dusk's
Swollen sky
*
Suspended
Mesmerized
I've been hypnotized
By defiant stars
Pelting Hercules sky
Over an Aegean Sea
*
An infant
Opens her eyes
For the very first time
And the Universe is born
Once again
*
Truly
Every face
Is the face of God
The lovely face of God
*
But
Never
Have I ever
Laid eyes
On one so beautiful
As you
