Stargazing

I gaze upon the velvet sky
Where stars are just a flicker to the eye
 One seems brighter than the rest
 Perhaps it's Mercury, glowing in the west

 Venus too is seen above
 It twinkles like the god of love
 Each star I see leaves me in awe
 Was that Jupiter I just saw?

 Closer yet is the silver moon
 In crescent mode or shining full
 It conducts the celestial tune
 The boundless sea feels its pull

 The night sky is full of wonder
 Its awe and beauty makes us ponder
 On the splendour of the universe
 As through the galaxies the stars disperse
