I'm sure all of us remember the many times as children we'd look at the stars at night, our imaginations being carried away.  Especially when we were able to gaze at them far from the lights of the city.  Awe inspiring!

Poetry form:  Cretic  -Also known as amphimacer. A Greek and Latin metrical foot consisting of a short syllable enclosed by two long syllables. Often found in folk poetry, its use in English poetry is rare, though instances can be found in proverbs and idiomatic expressions such as "After a while, crocodile." Contemporary uses of the cretic can be found in slogans and advertising phrases, and it is often used to make comparisons.

Awe Inspiring
