Charcoal clouds envelop the sun

Still, she fights, with all her might

Determined, to keep the dark away

And let her soul burn, into the night

Twilight, refusing to allow this

Said daytime could only stay for awhile

But she would not give in to him

For she knew just how to beguile

Igniting the clouds, with a spark of fire

She made her way, through the pitch

Darkness, she enamored, with her light

As the sky she did perfectly bewitch

Tonight’s quarter moon, through the trees, in my backyard.

Celestial light, so golden, in the night

You shine brilliantly, our summer light

With Jupiter to our left, ashimmer

And Venus to our right, aglimmer

The skies, filled, with worlds, unknown

You guide us to them, from your throne

 

Author’s Note:  Tonight’s sky is quite the story teller!  To the left of the moon is Jupiter, to the lower right is the star Spica and lower still is Venus, and above is the star Arcturus!  I hope you get a chance to see them all  🙂

You disappeared, out of sight

Swallowed by the darkened sky

A sliver, you couldn’t hold your ground

Even Venus, with her brilliance

Was no match for the storm

On this clouded summer night

 

Author’s Note:  I was able to catch a glimpse of the young moon and Venus, until the storm clouds took over, and they disappeared into the night.

I set sail in the night, I’ve traveled for years

Beneath starlit skies, under amethyst tears

Gently falling, from clouds, into the sea

I watch them, slowly, gather round me

And circle about, this mist, in the dark

Creating a wondrous, beautiful spark

Casting their glow, how my boat shines with them

Like the crown of a queen, Heaven’s own diadem

A different white light, in a star filled sky

Illuminated by night, as it drifts on by

A glow in the dark, shining down upon us

Leaving its mark, soon disappears, and thus

Hides the greatness, of Jupiter’s might

Til it shines in the lateness, again, ever bright
