Dance of the Night Sky

Dance of the Night Sky

The full round moon's glimmer
illuminated the midnight blue sky,
enshrouding the glitter of stars that
shimmered into the encroaching darkness,
shining forth vivid streams of light
upon which translucent graceful fairies
gathered to dance.
The heavens were filled with an
array of prismatic colors that seemed
almost to bring the dawning of the sun.
The twinkling of age old stars,
long since dead,
and the muted hum of crickets
playing their melody to
slow the dawns assent,
called forth the creatures of the forest
to gaze with longing
into the land where their spirits would return.
The clouds, floating along
the heavenly stream of life
began to take forms of mythical beasts,
mythic misadventures,
dragons dancing with unicorns,
and virgins fornicating with Gods.
And the ethereal silence was deafening,
laying like a blanket across the land
as dew laden leaves quivered
in exuberant expectation of dawn.
And then just before the ascention of the sun,
star formed creations
and cloud dreamed creatures
met in a duel for the heavenly sky,
only to discover that they
were sent back from whence they came
with the beginnings of a new day's dawn.
And the sky was once more
possessed by the Sun God.



Author's Notes: The night is filled with so much more than our minds can conceive. It is a magical time, from dusk till just before the rising of the sun, because it is hidden away from view, its mysteries still unpenitrated by the modern human world. And in it, anything can happen.
