Whispers of Nature : 100 Poems on Climate and Environment

A Tapestry of Stars

Beneath the sky, a tapestry of stars,
We weave our dreams, near and far.
Each twinkle tells a tale of old,
Of earth and sky, of warmth and cold.
Mountains rise with ancient grace,
Their peaks a testament to time and space.
Forests whisper secrets deep,
In their shadows, creatures sleep.
Rivers carve their winding path,
Through valleys green, they gently laugh.
Oceans vast with waves that roar,
Guard the secrets of the ocean floor.
Deserts stretch with golden sands,
A silent dance across the lands.
In every grain, a story lies,
Of sunlit days and starry skies.
The air we breathe, so pure and clear,
A gift from nature, held so dear.
In every breath, a life renewed,
A promise kept, a future viewed.
Stars above, a guiding light,
Through darkest days and endless night.
They remind us of our place,
In this vast and wondrous space.
So let us cherish earth and sky,
Protect the land, the sea, the high.
For in this tapestry of stars,
Lies the future, ours and ours.

This poem is meant to inspire a sense of wonder for the night sky and the importance of protecting our view of the stars against the encroaching light pollution.
