Velvety Velour
The twinkling stars light up the Night,
creating a magical sight.
And a rising moon starts to glow,
against the black backdrop of space.
Held in Night's ebony embrace,
Luna's light gilds the clouds below.
Visible to the naked eye,
shooting stars zip through the Night sky.
And spinning perceptively slow,
the Milky Way seems surreal;
a spiraling galactic wheel
superimposed on Night's shadow.
The twinkling stars light up the Night,
light-years away, and yet still bright.
Quasars and pulsars, twirling fast,
appear to flicker as they spin.
And once these spinning lights begin
rotating, they are unsurpassed.
The universe is God's domain:
something we can't, as yet, explain.
And we don't know how long it'll last;
for it may expand forever.
We see no end, whatsoever,
for it appears immensely vast.
Look up and behold the grandeur
of a jewel-encrusted sky,
swaddled in velvety velour.
