Stargazing

Day gives way to night 
The darkening skies
Come alive

Magic flecks across the dark
Twinkling to their tune
Music unsung

A canvas built on dreams
Vibrating with wishes
Secrets told

Glimpsing into the unknown 
Neither here nor there
Just being

Interestingly enough, for me, it is during my hours of stargazing, especially when doing so from my hottub out back, that I get most of my inspiration for future poems. This is very nicely worded and arranged. And, is more than "just being".
