In Milky Way Poem by Harley White

In Milky Way

Rating: 5.0


In Milky Way, the silver stream
where stars stelliferously teem,
is home among celestial sea
for willful creatures such as we
who dwell in dream within a dream.

Beneath the welkin's haloed gleam
mankind concocts each earthly scheme
adrift with spin of galaxy
in Milky Way.

If only humans would esteem
this ‘once upon a time' supreme
when life went on a living spree
and reached a sunlit apogee!
Have we outstayed our world's regime
in Milky Way?
