Visions of Stars

Hidden above a blanket of clouds ,
Lies a dark tapestry of diamonds .
Heaven shields the endless glow of specks ,
From man kinds sliver of site 
These ancient lights blink behind this curtain ,
Blessing visions spun by a dreamers song .
Wisps of light escape into this sleeping world ,
Their celestial breath comforting hearts .
These hidden stars soften heavens rug .
Straining to see the innocence of us sleeping 
Their cosmic fingers brush through moving clouds ,
Silently stroking the imagination of the human race .
As the ebony night slowly ebbs into dawn ,
Dimming stars bow to the suns crown of might .
Once again these glowing stars are hidden ,
Waiting for the awakening of night ..
