Crystals of Starlight

Look up to see a dome of black velvet lavishly set with crystals of starlight. And watch time confetti infinity; unveiling trillions of lights to the night. Mars and Jupiter share a reddish tinge as Venus and Mercury pierce Night's haze. And though Neptune and Uranus are faint, Saturn's elegance evokes songs of praise. A pocked-faced moon garnering golden beams smiles as a cloud of bats goes flying by. And gravity pulls shooting stars to Earth; splintering night in the blink of an eye. Clouds inked smoky purple and ashen grey; shift hues, like chameleons out to play.
