Under a star-studded, ebony sky,
quietude summons silence to the Night.
Scintillating shooting stars fall and die;
their epithets inked in a blaze of light.
And as dusk drains the color from twilight,
Luna gilds the clouds with golden moonlight.

Night's shifting shadows sully silhouettes,
as darkness drifts, like a curtain of smoke.
And fireflies, flicker like lit cigarettes,
burning through Night's impenetrable cloak.
And gobsmacked by the feelings stars evoke,
you bathe in their light, letting your soul soak.

In silence, pierced by the hoot of an owl,
clouds of bats flap webbed wings in the night air.
And nocturnal creatures begin to prowl
as glowing yellow eyes return your stare.
And when the cosmos comes into full view,
you understand, creation includes you.

And you somehow feel a part of it all:
surfing space on a cerulean ball.
