She went stargazing in her dream. As the light of the waning gibbous moon washes out views of the dark night sky, she and her lover stood transfixed, their eyes filled with wonder taking in the sheer beauty of it all! There was so much to see and marvel at; scintillating magic in the wide open night sky; meteor showers emanate a magnificent bright light. They looked through the telescope searching for the constellation Lyra the Harp and the bright star Vega, hoping they'll spot them overhead before dawn 'Twas a night and a dream to remember!

I thought, Edward, that as a teacher and writer I had a pretty decent vocabulary, but I never came across 'gibbous' before-- what a fun word! Congrats on your win
