"Stargazers" by Carl B Parker

Introduction

I once saw a painting by Carl, and it resulted in a story that he liked. I probably saw it because he is married to Misty Rae, who many of you WILL know

This is Carl's Facebook page with a link to his blog.

Here is my first Vocal piece inspired by Carl's work.

This is an ekphrastic terza rima, a form invented by Dante Alighieri for 'The Divine Comedy'.

The music is my favourite Rainbow song, "Stargazer"

Let Us Take Time Walk Out Of Doors
Away From Man's Street Light Pollution
Above Us Stars That We Can Explore
🌟👁️🌟
The Sky's Beauty Is No Illusion
This Is How We Calm Our Troubled Souls
The Heavens Show Us The Solution
🌟👁️🌟
See Four People Have Followed The Call
To Stand Under The Moon, Watch The Stars
Wonder Of Galaxies Seen By All
🌟👁️🌟
Outside, The Best Place To Be By Far
To See The Lights In The Sky So Clear
Outdoors, You Can Count Each Twinkling Star

These Visions Of Celestial Spheres
For Us All In The Night They Appear
