Beauty of the Night

So silently the night comes on as into darkness colors flee - when all the light from sun is gone. I raise my eyes. Pure radiance I see as if eternity is staring back at me. The lovely stars – how they mesmerize. Each one glitters like a Christmas light in white. And lo! A Super Moon this time greets my eyes. How close it appears! How big and bright. Behold the definition of beauty of the night. Nov. 14, 2022

"I raise my eyes. Pure radiance I see as if eternity is staring back at me." Andrea, enough said so eloquently. Stars extended to infinity, one contemplates the universe at large. Congratulations!

Did you see the super moon? It was amazing! This is a superb painting in words of blazing beauty in a starry night! Nothing like moon and stars in blue velvet! Andrea, congratulations.

Dang it, Sam. I never saw it. But one morning, Joe and I saw what looked like a moon still in the sky around 9 a.m and then it turned into the sun?? Could that have been it? This would have been on Friday I think. Tonight I see no moon at all. That is so weird.
