An Existential Curiosity, Night Fantasy

The hour of night unfolds before me like an origami shadow 
and suddenly the stars outsource their light, the moon her glow 
That dark and endless sky before my eyes is holding me in silence 
sheltering my quietude with queried thought I ask, who are you ?
Dark shadows moving with paranormal photo lights 
every planet in the sky including Mars ignites 
Saturnian golden shades of amber filament bright 
the hour of night unfolds giving me wish bullions of gold. 
Far beyond reach the innocent child of wander that I once was 
has left her stationary world of earth, her Alcatraz 
that jet black place of deep that knows no boundaries calls 
to me, you are who you say you are ! 
Luminescent angels of beauty and grace they hold the golden cup 
belonging to Pharaohs of yesterday, Divine intermediaries 
who brush through my soul like the breeze, airflow from heaven
an existential curiosity arises once more,  where are we ?

I often say this to myself "where are we ?" and I hope to always say it; so well penned!

This is indeed a poetic gem. I see in my vision a child with curious eyes staring wonderstruck at the innumerable stars blinking in the firmament and 'the luminous angels of beauty' above, asking to herself "'who are you". A great entry for the contest. All the Best dear Rose. Sure into my FAVE.
