The beauty of night
I raised my sight towards the heavens,
and stared deep into the night.
There is no sound but the sound of silence,
or maybe the sound of space out of sight.
On earth I have seen many wonders,
but none like the sky when alight.
Scattered stars into the black glitter,
some fairly dim and some glow too bright.
Some for the naked eye are clear,
to saddened hearts they bring delight.
In some you can see formations,
but others are too far apart.
To man the universe may seem simple,
or just a display of celestial art.
A vast knowledge beyond our comprehension,
Godly creation that we can’t explain.
Some knowledge mankind has mastered,
but what lies beyond will drive you insane.
I see a shooting star there in the distance,
in silence a humble servant I remain.
