Under the Night Sky

Like the faint speckles of light piercing through a fabric of black silk upon the fore of flickering flames from an ensemble of a thousand tealights The obscure vast extends beyond our perspective opening our minds, birthing visual imagery brought upon by this vivid intimacy between the light and the dark Like ornate embroidery, leisurely sewn as clouds transform while traversing the temporal expanse revealing our past through portraits of images we once knew The romantic serenity politely interrupted by wisps of wind that softly whisper feeling their breath; as a caress of silk delicately brushing against our skin As the warmth of Earth, upon which our bodies rest holds us closely as our souls explore the everlasting and exclusive wonders under the night sky
