Stargazing
An Ekphrastic Terza Rima Inspired By Carl B Parker's wonderful painting
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"

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

The stars do tell stories if we take the time to read. Good job.
Great poem, Mike. I like the Terza Rima format; it appeals to my need for rhyming verse.
I didn't know he was Misty's husband. That's a beautiful poem!
