A Slice Taken From the Heavens
#ObjectOfAffection
Dear night sky,
I am 6 years old,
usually, I look out into the night,
And there you are,
Full of sparkling wonder.
Stars glisten out until infinite space.
Yet tonight I am in wonder.

Tonight there is a slice of you taken from the heavens.
A marvel and wonderful thing that I have never encountered.
I wake up occasionally and I stare at your beauty.
I stare with such awe and excitement until the sun comes up.
Yet tonight there is a sliver of the night taken from my night sky that gives me chills,
Yet for some reason it is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
It's as though God himself took a tiny slice of darkness and gave me this peephole into what's behind the dark.
I only wish I could reach out to it
and see what's behind our already beautiful...
