Nocturnal Artistry

Flecks of white against a canvas of black jesso,
playing a cosmic game of connect the dots.
Their transparent designs depict stories eons old
of heroes and legends ancient but not forgotten.
What aesthetic vision lies within
the limited nocturnal palette,
with some hues of indigo and violet,
and a touch of some pale shade of green!
Darker streaks of charcoal gray
drift calmly by in their fly-by-night,
moving at the speed of darkness.
Under the pale moonlight,
the clouds paint shadows on the ground
while tree limbs mimic the same brush strokes
upon the moon's face.
