Celestial

Tonight, I look up and the sky is different.

Her luminous beauty, always taken for granted, is gloriously apparent-

With a dazzling shade of midnight blue,

Tonight, the night sky triggers a slightly different cue.

 

Beneath her, a translucent sheet of clouds spread,

Highlighted by artificial city lights ahead.

A cool, light breeze floats by

As the sparkling stars scatter up high.

Words can never grasp

Such a breathtaking sight.

 

Everything seems to fit right

On this astonishingly beautiful night-

Even when the moon is hiding,

The sky is continuously glowing.

 

Nothing could compare to something like this,

It’s like the magic of your first real kiss-

Life-changing, stunning, amazing.

 

During times like these,

I feel God’s hands painting colors

Onto the earth and all its wonders.

 

Maybe they just need us to notice,

To see them with eyes of innocence;

In order to bestow upon us an unexplainable bliss,

We must try to really see and feel their presence.

 

 

Tonight, I look up and the sky is different.

Her luminous beauty, always taken for granted, is gloriously apparent-

With a dazzling shade of midnight blue,

Tonight, the night sky triggers a slightly different cue.

So ethereal and breezy. Really very good writing. I love how you repeated the first stanza, used it as the last. It added much drama and impact. It's impressive because English isn't your mother tongue (I can see you're from the Philippines. :D) and yet this is written with so much emotion and you painted the picture well.
Keep it up :)

This is the kind of stuff I can only dream to write. I'm jealous while also in love.

Wonderfully crafted. I like the mood of this piece--hopeful, almost serene yet longing. To me the lines sound better sung than worded out--the beauty of this poem is that it is almost like a song.

Thanks for sharing Rach!

This is magical, very beautiful, innocent. You painted such
a vivid read for the readers to see in their mind. I myself
look up at the night sky and never see the same thing, and
that was portrayed here. Great write!

[SK Woodiwiss]

Very nice.
You have a quality about you that reminds us of such common and beautiful surrounds. I very much appreciate that your focus was on that one incredible phenomenon and you did not divert us into the cause of your sudden wonder. You left it as it was - a solo performance by the night sky and that we should all stop and rediscover. Very very nice.

Yes, glorious is the word I would use to describe this piece. It had a lot of detail to it, and a very interesting story. Very nice
