Not a sound to be heard,
all was silent,
as humans and animals alike were resting,
resting their weary minds,

A midnight blue sky towered over,
the moon shining brightly,
showing it's beauty to all,
acting as the main center piece

Accompanying the center piece,
were little specks of light
they were small, however,
they were just as beautiful as the moon

To the human eye, the stars look like sparkles,
sparkles that light up the night sky,
making it beautiful,
making it more appealing to the eye

These sparkles mean different things to different people,
to some, these are simply scientific,
simply made of hydrogen and helium,
and for some, their light lasts a lifetime,
maybe multiple

To others,
these beautiful sparkles among the darkness symbolize something,
they symbolize their deceased loved ones,
lovingly watching over them, keeping them safe

Some of these stars are alone,
standing alone, embracing their individual beauty,
whereas others stand with other stars,
creating beautiful constellations,
these constellations making up shapes, animals,
and some are even studied to find their meaning

Alone or together, these stars are sometimes obscured,
by clouds tainting the night sky,
sometimes staying, sometimes drifting peacefully by
even obscuring the moon itself

Even with this obstruction,
the stars and the moon continue to shine,
working together to create a picturesque image,
one that many can gaze upon for hours and hours,
one that many can admire,
one that many can seek comfort in.
