Stargazing

A thousand gleaming jewels gaze down at me,
Glistening and luminous,
Like pearls in the night sky.
An infinite black blanket of silver specks,
Impossible to count.
Magnificent but delicate,
Priceless beyond measure.
A bottomless pit of precious gems,
Lighting up the night sky in their radiance.
The intensity of their light,
Too brilliant to bear.
Millions of balls on fire,
Fierce and intense,
Golden streaks across the unmeasurable sky.
The perfect, pearly speckles,
Dotted across the heavens.
An eternal array of exquisiteness,
Light up the sky everlastingly.
