Twinkling stars confetti the night, creating a magical sight; as a molten moon starts to glow against the black backdrop of space. Held in night's ebony embrace Luna's light gilds the clouds below; and observed by the naked eye, shooting stars unzip the night sky. While spinning perceptively slow the Milky Way seems surreal; a spiraling galactic wheel, superimposed on night's shadow. Twinkling stars confetti the night, so far away and yet still bright; and quasars and pulsars twirl fast seeming to flicker as they spin. Once those pulsating lights begin, the night's beauty is unsurpassed. The universe is God's domain; something we can't, as yet, explain. We don't know how long it will last, maybe it'll expand forever; we see no end whatsoever, all we know is that it is vast. Look up and behold the grandeur of a jewel-encrusted sky; swaddled in velvety velour.
