Dancing Stars

The stars in the sky throw a party at night
A million twinkling points of light.
They come and invite me as a guest
To witness the dance and judge the contest.

The Big Dipper’s ladle scoops the dark
Orion the hunter leaves his mark.
Twinkling stars jig and jive
While shooting stars take a dive.

A million tiny diamonds bright
Scattered high across the night.
The moon, a giant disco ball
That casts a glow upon them all.

No music plays, but silence sings
Of distant worlds and wondrous things.
The next time you see a starry throng
Remember the party goes on all night long!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
