A Starry Eyed Glistening Glide

A cascade of swirls curled in the sky.
Enveloping a host of ghostly nebula galaxies,
glowing like a myriad of phosphorous flares,
sent aloft to glisten in starry, starry eyes.

The moon was off 
the scene somewhere,
humming to itself, 
the haunting mantra lilt
of a lunar lullaby, 
only it knows can put a smile, 
on its pocked blotched face.

When the big bang boom goes off,
the moon will lift its head, 
rise to awaken half-faced, and glide through
the serpentine, entwining starry veils,
along the slither slide of the milky way.
