Night Sky

all the wonders that the daylight conceals
come out of hiding when the night sky reveals
moons, planets, floating debris
all kinds of interesting things to see
shooting stars may fill the skies
or maybe simply fireflies
space stations, shuttles, satellites
maybe a show of the Northern Lights
bats and moths may fill the air
we know mosquitoes will be there
when our massive sun has left the skies
a million little suns arise
all these things the night sky can provide
but you’ll miss them all if you don’t go outside

  1. I always regret not taking the time to stargaze more then I do. Nice mix of rhyme and celestial contemplation.

  6. I enjoy being reminded of experiences I would miss if I don't break out of my routines. Thank you for advising me to remember the night sky! :D
