Night's Enchantment

As light escapes, the lustrous moon ascends
a prelude to the majesties of night
with shining constellations that transcend
and shooting stars that burn with heaven's light.

Night's canopy unfurls our galaxy
with planet earth along the milky way
to join its glory, orbiting so free
unique with life abundant, grand display.

As Jupiter and Mars round sun again
along with Venus, Pluto in its wake
this requiem of solar dance began
in ages past, by God for His own sake.

Galactic glories' gleaming reverie
in interstellar, perfect harmony.
