" Night Surfer "
I spied a dimpled star in the heavens
As though a golden telescope spoke to me
Of the common creation of all things rare
Such a small space they occupy in time's canopy
A dimpled smile in a momentary flare
What a wondrous sight, to dance upright in the night
As though a golden telescope caught the tail of a comet
And afforded me, as a witness, an uncommon delight
A surf in the night's sun, and I a rider upon it
A night surfer riding a wave beyond twilight
Forever transformed, my soul did break apart
As though a golden telescope spied every star
And the great overlord redirected it all through my heart
I became a night surfer, riding divinity's Black Art
Vanishing into the original black hole of abstract art...

Hello Tony...
First, I would just like to say...
Great pic of you!
I have read this several times...
To catch the tail of a comet...
HOW COOL IS THAT?
If I ever happen to see surfing the night sun...
Would you teach me?
If you see me flying and waving...
I will ask to be big enough to carry how ever many...
If anyone wants a ride...
If the golden telescope could say what it sees...
I wonder if it would say...
I spy some very happy and crazy people?
Beginners?
LOL!
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugz and Smiles!

Dear Poetic Brother Tony,
As usual, your "astronomical" talent shines, for you are a brilliant star yourself. Some day soon, when we meet in person, I'll bring my surfboard, and you can teach me the secret of how to disappear into "the black hole of Abstract Art".
Peace, Love and Rockets,
xox Larry

Hi Tony
Beautiful as usual. You have a way of making me feel your poems. Great write. Keep them coming.
Lots of love......Rose
A poem for the nocturnal breed and I could not help but read. I picture in a cartoonish way ascending into space and surfing on a comet brushing off all the stars around like fireflies. Very cool write man. Definitely checking out some of these other ones you got going on. Peace out Lover Of Rockets.
