Spectacular night sky

Awareness, Mindfulness, Poetry, prompts, Sadje's View

Respond to this Friday Faithfuls challenge by writing anything about outer space, or you can go with anything else that you think fits.

➰➰➰

It’s awe inspiring

Beyond our understanding

The sky glittering with stars

Or perhaps planets or satellites

I must confess the truth here

I am quite uninformed about them

When I look up on a clear night sky

I cannot identify the planets or constellations

In naive wonder I look up and just admire

The glittering, glimmering beauty of this display

The outline of the moon is visible too.

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  5. Girl Sadje, I am on the same page as you are in your star-struck poem. I loved these lines in particular:

    “When I look up on a clear night sky
    I cannot identify the planets or constellations
    In naive wonder I look up and just admire
    The glittering, glimmering beauty of this display”

    You nailed this challenge! Beautiful! 😘🌟🌞

  11. It’s soothing enough just to watch the night sky, but if you take a little time to learn some more, it feels like bonding with the cosmos. They become old mysterious friends

  15. I was listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson…(American astrophysicist) he explained that stars do not twinkle. It is their light traveling through different temperatures through our atmosphere that make them appear that way. Also a planet will not refract light that way – So a planet will not ‘sparkle’.

    Just kept enjoying the sky. It doesn’t matter if you can name anything. Lovely images.
