THE CELESTIAL PUPPETEER
Mark Tulin

The clouds hang from the sky
like cottony puppets,
manipulated by a celestial puppeteer,
engineering our universe.

The engineer creates
a changing picture overhead,
hanging the yellow sun during the day,
the silvery moon at night,
and the cluster of stars in the black sky.

The universe is her canvas
that she designs with pride.
She does it with the hope
that the busy humans on the ground
will stop, and look up
every now and then.

    But alas! They often forget.
    A good one, Mark.

    We usually don’t think of the puppeteer. I’ll have to remember to look up every now and again

    Great poem.

    This new year greeting is sent to you
    Let your dreams this year come true.
    In all your decisions let wisdom be
    For your success, you hold the key.

    Beautiful verse.

    Just yesterday, I looked up to the sky, to give thanks, for the boundless wisdom that is. For I knew deep in my heart, the essence of love that we are given, so that we may too give.

    Thank you for sharing this, it brought a wonderful insight for my new year.
