The morning night skies have been beautiful of late

The night morning skies of late have been beyond beautiful.
Beyond anything that can be described fully
Black, dark skies, like there is nothing beyond
Yet leaving me feeling there is everything beyond
Closing me to feel like we are enclosed in the nothingness
Then opening me again to feel like there is no enclosure because of the presence of the all
Infinite, glorious, huge, wow
Twinkling stars, abundant and bright 
A lone bright star large like an orb of light all on its own 
Sitting in the southwest corner of the dark sky
Holding court all on its own
Owning the sky full of stars
All radiating and casting their light in an otherwise black night.
In awe of the light these stars that look tiny to us from a distance 
But are huge in their own right shine down on us
And lighten up the blackest darkest night
Helping us to navigate through the darkness
Bringing us much needed light
Not a cloud in the sky to obscure the beauty and radiance of the stars
Illuminating that dark liquid ink black night
Showing us the magnificence of creation
Allowing me to see
There is something magical about a black sky filled with stars
Something that allows me to believe there is something much greater than me
Than us in the beyond
There is something much more than we could ever understand or fully comprehend
Something that allows light even in the darkest night
Something that adds to the mystery that is us
That is the all
Yet there is something sinister about a dark night with stars twinkling down on us as well
Almost as if the whole sky and stars could come crashing down on us
Destroy us in a flash
Great balls of fire
But that to me is the dichotomy of life
Sometimes depending on our vantage point
We can the beauty in all things 
Like the stars twinkling on a cloudless still night
Or we can see the darkness and little balls of fire in the sky 
And believe they can destroy without a thought
Nature has a funny way of showing the divide that exists within us all
A funny way of reminding us that at all times 
We have so much to draw upon 
Particularly when we think we are fumbling in the darkness
Reminding us through its presence and change
All we need to do is remember there is always a beginning 
And an ending 
With a journey in between
Sometimes that journey will be so dark that we feel we will never find the light
Then other times there will be so much light that we are never lost
And then sometimes we are stuck in the in between
In between the darkness and the light
In between the beginning and the end
And the journey feels endless
And just when we are about to give up
To lose hope
To question our faith
A dark sky filled with light opens for us
No clouds
No questions
Just clarity of the immenseness of the Universe we reside in
That is within us all
That is us all
Illustrating for us the possibility that exists for us all
Is within us all
Is us all
Allowing us to remember
There is a beginning and an ending
And a journey in between
How that journey begins and ends
Depends on how we view the dark sky filled with radiant light
The morning, night skies have been beautiful of late
Filled with promise
Possibility
And faith
Infinite wisdom on our doorsteps
Waiting for us to discover
To accept
The immenseness of our power
On a beautiful dark morning  night
