From The Stars (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(after William Shakespeare)

From the stars I cannot events of the future pluck
or find any answers in this kind of mere astronomy
that does indicate any kind of fate or kind of luck
yet above me they do hold a serene kind of quality

but about my feelings and love for you I can tell,
while thunder, wind and rain as sings do indicate,
where day upon day I do constantly wish you well
where I belief God does provide more than just fate.

From my senses about you understanding I derive
while the stars give direction to me and is God's art
where in His omnipotence in space He lets them thrive
but you and your wishes here on earth I do take to heart

even if at times it does my own life in the way it is invert
and to the feeble science of astrology no one will me convert.
