Pavements

Moonlight lightens a mackerel patterned sky
pictured like crazed paving slabs along a roadside.
Biscuit shaped clouds move gracefully through the air
outline accentuated by the softness that is theirs.
From sea to sky they may have travelled far,
for their journey is closer to the stars than we are.
Look closer, and space between will reveal so much more.
for the haphazard lines is the place to search and explore.
Planets like Saturn and Venus you may possibly see
along with innumerable stars belonging to our galaxy.
But a layer of cloud then forms to hide such sight
until, that is, the earth turns to the same point tomorrow night!
