Stardust in the Heavens

Amidst the brisk, nightly chill
Of a quiet and peaceful valley, 
Bright speckles of light shimmer
And dot the evening sky –   
Folks of all ages take lengthy peeks
At their euphoric eminence and sparkling grace,
And marvel at the crisp, glowing, fiery embers…

Above the calm, tranquil lighting
In nearby, homey windows 
And the reverberating glow
Of numerous streetlights,
These denizens of the clear evening sky
Shower love and hope upon millions
With their empathic beams
Of glistening stardust,
Lifting youthful spirits
And warming many satisfied hearts…

Much dreaming and such cherished memories
Accompany their radiant journey
To our earthly and sacred abode,
As the spritely sun gives daily rise
To those enduring and magnificent celestial bodies.
