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,
so far away, and yet still bright.
Quasars and pulsars, twirling fast,
appear to flicker as they spin.
Once these pulsating lights begin:
their true beauty is unsurpassed.
The universe is God's domain:
somethings we can't, as yet, explain.
We don't know how long it will last:
it might well expand forever.
We see no end, whatsoever:
all that we know is that it's vast.
Look up and behold the grandeur
of a jewel-encrusted sky,
swaddled in velvety velour.
