Comet in My Time--By Marlene Million--United States

Comet in My Time

I am spellbound, gazing

from an open field.

The universe issues

zealous sovereignty

streaming its sentry

through the night, a fiery light,

sky-rocking around the sun.

Gliding across interplanetary

space, an astro-divination

signals a luminescent cloud.

It brightens the world,

feeds ethereal fire to the core.

The magnetic pull elevates,

navigates a journey in solar

sparkle.  This immense serendipity

amazes the mind, startles the senses.

Its tail of wispy ion smoke

cascades a fine vapor

upon the night sky, dotted

with celestial destiny.
