A Luminous Night

A luminous night
     
      Stressed out at a late time of night
      Tense about the work, it’s all quite trite!
      When I peered out the window and into the sky
      Thick and thin tufts of white appeared on the canvas of night.
      I eased the mind and put it all aside
      I made the travel outside and took flight!
      In awe and shock of what occurred despite,
      That havoc earlier, I could not behold this wondrous sight!
      An atmosphere so clear, enlightened by pricks of pure starlight.
      Something so tremendous and great that I must write,
      My mortal eyes can barely behold this luminous night.
