Adendum

The night is filled with Gold
Iron, carbon, platinum, water
Hydrogen, helium, silver
Freckled everywhere

Order, gravity
Ancient light, curving through the sky

The night is boasting bold
Orion, Volans, Microscopium, Cancer
Sculptor, Scutum, Serpens, Sextans 
Every name you dare

Thrill the night with stars
Adient flight, surging through the mind
