Staring at stars

“She says nothing at all, but simply stares upward into the dark sky and watches, with sad eyes, the slow dance of the infinite stars.” (Stardust, Neil Gaiman)

What do you see when you look up at the night sky? The magnitude of the infinity of the stars overwhelms, and at once I would catch my breath, amazed by the sea of tiny twinkles so so far away.

A galaxy of lost thoughts; a universe of hidden dreams. The stars hold secrets. All of them kept in gem encrusted jewel boxes hung high in the velvet black sky. Their whispers soundless sparkles.

What do you see when you look up at the night sky?
