In Awe of the Night

In Awe Of The Night.
.
Countless sparkling diamonds twinkle
In a soft dark velveteen nights sky
The bashful milky moon 
Shows it’s luminous face once more
Capturing the receptive surveying eye
How many hearts and minds
Have seen the same stars as I
Since the beginning of time
How many idle dreamers
And lovers swooned beneath the splendor
Of an amorous moon but tonight the stars are mine
As I stand here in admiration 
And in awe
Thankful for the wonders of creation.

How many wonders can one deny.. Love this, the imagery, the slight alliteration and the assonance... Those two of my favorite poetry techniques.
