Night skies

The night was beautiful.
Serene even, especially
when viewing it with him.

Semitransparent clouds
stretched across fair floss
skies at dusk - but nothing
could compare the the grey
canvas dotted with stars.

Stars like silver diamonds
shine spontaneously.
Playfully winking at passersby
as they watch over all and
everything in their view.

Their expressions match
that of their admirers as they
smile down reassuringly at
stargazers below.

It will all be ok, they whisper.
Everything will work out in
the end, they promise, with
a gaze at the face of the moon.

They basked in the moon's presence,
drawing in all its warmth, as they
glimmer in the dark abyss, a final
wave goodbye until dusk is drawn
again.
