A repost is allowed on a slow Sunday evening no?

:-) 

Tutmoses looking 'cross the Nile 

saw your reflection on the water.

Cleopatra held Antony’s hand

and kissed it by your light.

Nero plucked his lyre

while you shined on burning Rome.

Did Mehmet gaze upon your face

atop the walls of Byzantium?

You shined that night

on Santa Maria 

and when they came for Atahualpa.

Watched the Sioux ghost dancing

and the Mahdi pray outside Khartoum.

Cixi sat in her pavilion, drank tea and reminisced.

Did your visage ache the doomed

along the Volga that  Christmas?

You saw countless Romeos

caress the breasts

of countless Juliets.

You shined on me as well tonight.

Am I one with the infinite?
