The sky spreads before me in blankets of light,
mysterious void in the darkness of night.
The heavens, like diamonds are flickering bright.
I delight in the mystery of it all!
The immensity, the vastness, makes me feel small
with concepts enormously beyond recall.
Those cosmic constructions show beauty and grace
exceeding the reach of the whole human race,
that tinkers and toys concepts of time and space.
Like a little child, I wonder in twilight
at sparkling tableaus making marvelous sights.
The sky spreads before me in blankets of light.

I delight in the mystery of it all,
as its deep enigma keeps me in thrall.
I hear Siren songs clear as clarion calls.
Those cosmic constructions show beauty and grace.
Through eons of time Nature couldn't erase
the signature wielded upon Heaven's place.
The realization of it is wonderful,
a spontaneous spark so successful
that the Universe became bountiful,
full of those things that can swim, fly, walk, or crawl.
While I am here looking up, standing tall,
I delight in the mystery of it all!

Those cosmic constructions show beauty and grace,
constellation patterns of ribbon and lace
that even a small simple mind can embrace.
The realization of it is wonderful -
Compositions cosmically colorful,
arrayed so, in a manner most beautiful.
Astonishing forces determine our fate,
that flow with the feeling of something so great,
far beyond comprehension humans relate
to experience we typically face,
that only zen masters usually trace.
Those cosmic constructions show beauty and grace.

Astonishing forces determine our fate,
expanding in space at exceptional rates,
igniting the cauldrons explosions create.
The realization of it is wonderful!
Swirling around in gravitational pull,
doing dazzling dances that are masterful,
those cosmic constructions show beauty and grace.
As the planets align in a tight solar chase
where the powerful pull of the sun sets the pace,
while all the stars light the way to Heaven's gate
on Earth man is learning a little too late.
Astonishing forces determine our fate!

The realization of it is wonderful!
I stand here admiring a sky so full --
canopy covering truly delightful.
Those cosmic constructions show beauty and grace,
as the planets, the moon, and stars interlace
in visions that only the clouds can displace.
I delight in the mystery of it all,
and ponder the moments of light that may fall
on this pitiful person who sits a wall
while some comet tails blaze just off to my right.
The scene never fails to amaze and delight.
The sky spreads before me in blankets of light.

Astonishing forces determine our fate.
The realization of it is wonderful!
Those cosmic constructions show beauty and grace.
I delight in the mystery of it all!
The sky spreads before me in blankets of light.
