Gazing at a recent night time nature canvas,
exploded with zillions of sparkling stars
splashed brilliantly on a cobalt-to-ebony sky,
I had to wonder why You made it so.

Why make the skyview so vast
that only an ethereal dreamer
could fathom the depths of this ocean of stars?
Even Mars' magical moments rarely give us a handle
on the Dipper’s possibilities.

Beneath all that glitters above
lies a myriad of golden opportunities,
chances to dream and wonder,
perchance to set one's self free
from the weighty gravity of Terra Firma.

Tonight, I shall stand underneath
this Copernican canopy,
and dream of what can be.

A delight to read and perhaps dream a little dream of he.

humbled by my reply...lmao... sorry... but certainly no reason to be humbled by anything I say...

you write well, ma'am... and you write about the things that are important to you...

Kacy, this is exquisite.  It makes me thinks of nights upon the mountain when the world was dark but for the sky, shimmering as diamonds on black velvet.  Thanks for the sweet memory.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

You light up the sky yourself, Kacy, with your demonstrated love of nature!  Much enjoyed the vision through your eyes.....jo

It would be a pleasure to be at your side taking in the spledor of the night skies. I identify with so many of your writes, dear Kindred One.

To the stars and beyond!
