Whirl through wonder

Curling in my sleeping bag,
I gaze at a swirling starlit sky
in the darkest depths of night.
At Lake Tekapo, lights pinned high
whirl through wonder, tracing
the Milky Way’s endless maze,
spilling a neural network
of celestial beauty.
Mind and matter mending.

  3. your poem encapsulates that "whirl through wonder," so well
