Look up to a sky full of stars akin to trillions of diamonds. And watch a gold doubloon moon climb high amidst a starlit background. Not a sound, just you and your thoughts, all worldly distractions vanish. And critiquing God's handiwork your soul binds with humanity. A sizzling shooting star burns bright, unzipping a curtain of sparks. And bats start patrolling for moths, flapping skin-soft wings as night falls. Shifting shadows slowly conjoin, turning charcoal gray into black. And tattooing twilight phantoms, dusk, inks day in colors of night

'Unzipping a curtain'! Cliche sneezed, you buried it. E's absence elevates your skilful execution.
