Paint the Sky With Stars

The vast midnight blue 
Ready .............. 
Ready, for my stars too 

Reaching for my pallette, 
no words needed................ 
I was all set 
This midnight sky seeded 

I painted the sky with stars 
Jupiter and Mars............. 
Saturn and its rings........ 
So many wondrous things 

Mercury and Pluto......... 
The beautiful Venus light, 
especially bright! 
Such heavenly bodies so! 

These stars I hold 
The stories they told! 
The midnight sky................ 
begins to unfold 

I painted the sky with stars 
Each one held a thought 
A special light 
This I wrought, 
to illuminate the night 

The Earth light 
A jewel so bright! 
No blue can compare 
to this colour ...so rare 

Uranus, so far from home 
Somehow not alone 
The Milky Way, 
an accidental brush at play 

I painted the sky with stars 
This deep blue 
Now, you can know it too 
Starlight................ 
Falls on you
