"No sight is more provocative of awe than is the night sky." - Llewelyn Powys Tonight it seems as if moonlight sings and stars surround her in nocturnal musings. Would that I were an angel with feathered wings, I'd fly to bask within the golden light of her haloed rings I stood in awe of her without askance Mesmerized by the sight as if I was in a trance Agasp of the night's celestial beauty with each glance I imagined they were enjoying their cotillion with a dance Suddenly a shooting star took the stage in a solo ballet, it's swan song earned with age Brilliantly it gleamed with flames as if it was in a rage I was breathless watching it glow, then its death to assuage From shadows, I quietly observed them tonight watching the heavenly gems shining ever so bright as the moon glimmered and stars shimmered their light I was amazed by the magnificence of the breathtaking sight
