The Beautiful Sky

Earth shades most of the moon’s pale face. Stars stud the dark: ancient gems in their place. I am staring and wondering – Why? Why is there such a beautiful sky? Beneath cool air on this feathered night, far-lights travel to my eyes: I stare - and I’m wondering – Why? Why is there such a beautiful sky?

Yes, Psalm 19: 'The heavens declare the glory of God' - revelation and mystery together. I am glad that you liked the poem :)
