Celestial Beings
An acrostic poem — what are ‘celestial beings’
Celestial
Crimson skies at dusk paint dreams alight,
Echoes of stars whisper through the night.
Luminous trails of comets blaze,
Eternal mysteries in heaven’s maze.
Softly the moon casts a silver hue,
Time seems frozen in the midnight blue.
Infinite worlds in the vast expanse,
Awakening wonder with every glance.
Light-years away, yet close to the heart.
Beings
Born of stardust, a radiant glow,
Essence of cosmos, where secrets flow.
Infinite wisdom, both vast and unseen,
Nature’s enigma, serene yet keen.
Guide of the heavens, eternal, supreme.
Spirits of light in a boundless dream.
Note: What are Celestial Beings?
Some say they are Angels or beings of the light from Heaven. ‘Celestial’ can also refer to objects in space, such as planets, stars, moons, asteroids, comets, nebulae, and galaxies. ‘Beings’ are the nature and essence of a person. Some say ‘Beings’ are alien creatures.
