Notes About The Poem

Night

Although the night is no longer young
Beauty decorates the evening sky
Captured is my heart by stars far flung
Deep upon a dark canvas they fly

Enumerate each constellation
Find all galaxies humming in space
Generate a census destination 
His words spoken creates each trace

Isn't the creation wonderful
Just look around each day and night
Keep those eyes wide open for the plentiful
There could be one grand delight tonight 

Inspired by "Before the Night Grows Old" line in Mystic Rose's poem
