Line Gauthier's Bite Size No. 70 Contest ~ August 24, 2023

In an illusory vision, I perceive the moon High aloft the world in midnight's pitch, polished to a satiny sheen; burnished pearl, a solitaire gem mounted in celestial skies surrounded by multi-faceted diamonds, myriads of gleaming stars before my eyes.
