Stars As Cat Eye Marbles

Celestial chandeliers, strung aloft the Milky Way
Aligning as constellations, invisible by light of day
Torches burning, that the sun prevents us to behold

Earth's luminaries ignite as dusk begins to unfold
Yielding glitter more lustrous than flecks of feldspar
Evoking optimistic wishes from those near or far

Magnificently they sparkle on a black background
Alight are these orbs,  as jewels they are crowned
Revealing to all that life holds abundant treasure
Beyond any value, their worth far beyond measure
Lending us such clear vision, as through a cat's eye
Exquisite marbles are the stars in the midnight sky
Sparkling in the heavens, fulgid light for you and I

The wonder of the heavens, Gods creation. I like nothing better than to go out on a clear winters night and just gaze in total awe Always reminds me of diamonds strewn across a black velvet cloth. Tom P S Soupmail.
