Glitter

The stars are God's dreams, thoughts remembered in the silence of his night. - Thoreau

Stars shimmered and shone in the night sky like God's glitter.

Minions of angels glowing like an almighty, golden chalice.

Forming the aurora borealis.

All of creation applauded its master.

Tears of comfort and amazement formed a gully down my cheeks.

I stood and stared as if frozen in time.

Awaiting the next rhyme.

A tranquil sea caressed the shore.

Unlike Descartes, I feel therefore I am.

Trees swayed below to a midnight waltz.

The change from a spent day and the credit card of a new night paired together and danced a minuet on horizon's ballroom floor.

Love beckoned from the heavens and opened its door.

My chest heaved as I breathed and prayed for ...

... more ...

Author's Note

“The stars are the apexes of what wonderful triangles! What distant and different beings in the various mansions of the universe are contemplating the same one at the same moment! Nature and human life are as various as our several constitutions. Who shall say what prospect life offers to another? Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?” - Thoreau

Beautifully penned. I love the use of the night sky for anything poetic. For one who's stood there many a night observing, the silence, the beauty, the take-away is purely unique and spiritual.

This was my favorite line:
Day and night paired together and danced a minuet on horizon's dance floor.

Wonderful job, Pete!
