Starry Night

Starry Night There are moments in your life that will live in your heart forever Moments that will take your breath away Indelibly etched into your very soul. And will never be forgotten. Memorialized. My first such moment was laying on my back at night Looking up at the night sky in awe. Taking in the wondrous splendor Of the heavens above Mesmerized The band of the Milky Way stretched across the length of the sky Blazing a trail of light as far as the eye could see A myriad of stars too numerous to count Brning into my retinas Hypnotized Although that night was so long ago I recall it so vividly I can call to mind the awe it filled in me If I live to be a hundred years old I will never forget. Crystalized. For me those moments are food to nourish my soul Such happy memories for when sadness calls When I need to remind myself It happened to me Realized There was no social media to share this wondrous moment with No cellphone camera to record for future posterity Only my minds eye to recapture it And play it back again. Memorized. For eternity.
