Socrates and the Sky

[Sziontist]

I wonder what Socrates would visualize,
if today, in our modern age,
he stood one starry night
and stared at the sky?

Would the light in his eyes
ignite an imagination that Van Gogh
could translate to canvas
and favor with a smile?

Or, if he thought what he saw
wasn't at all how he'd remembered,
would he envision suspicious intentions
within these strange space embers?

all of your creations are timeless.

timeless..interesting that you would use that term to describe this poem. since it is about time and how it changes all things and how even someone as logical as Socrates might consider some sinister inclinations, in something so seemingly constant and unfazed as a star, in their vague and relative changes
