Planets rotate
forever and
forever change

our views of
the universe
by the moment.

Observe and
be inspired
by clouds

which move
effortlessly
in brilliant

blue skies
with help
from the wind.

Celebrate the
light of an
opal Moon,

the boldness
of gold Sun,
and sky

overflowing
with silver
stars.

These are
all celestial
gifts

that shape
and challenge
understanding

of all
that surrounds
us.
