The nights sky was lit by immense moonlight. The stars would wink like eyes, in and out, from front to back, side to side around the universal shadow guise.
The orbit would carry on, rotate, as the magnetic poles kept it all aligned. Second to minute would pass. Slowly, the lunar eclipse would arrive.
The once charcoal gray sky, like an onyx rock, would continue to darken. The stars, even more, shined brighter and harder. Like diamonds, the novas would glisten.
After the awe brought on by the celestial track. The sharp darkness would begin to reside. The moon, a sliver at a time. It's glow, came back.
Complimenting street lights. Slight to sharp reflections off blades of grass. The everlasting eternal journey was only just beginning, continuing to strengthen, when in real time, only minutes had passed.
But sometimes that's all it took...
Simply just a taste...
A millisecond spent of ones time,
Could bring many joy for eternity...
Whimsically waking smiles,
Across their face…
