The Celestial Puppeteer

The clouds hang from the sky
like cottony puppets,
manipulated by a celestial puppeteer,
engineering our universe.

The engineer creates
a changing picture overhead,
hanging the yellow sun during the day,
the silvery moon at night,
and the cluster of stars in the black sky.

The universe is her canvas
that she designs with pride.
She does it with the hope
that the busy humans on the ground
will stop, and look up
every now and then.
