Whale Roads and Night Songs

The heavens sing a bass below bass tune,
a giant's choir rumbling through the void.
They school, these stars, with soaring, diving, songs;
solar whale melodies pierce the darkness.
Swimming through eternity's endless black,
these giants, not gentle but furious,
blaze and roar their astral songs in silence
that's too private for mere mortality.
Still, their chorus reaches our trembling hearts,
and we wonder: to whom do you sing stars?
Where do you travel on your endless roads?
We long, in our measureless, quiet way,
to also travel the whale-roads of night.
