Comment from Janice Canerdy
This creative poem is very descriptive and thought-provoking. Yes, in spite of man's brilliance and endless research, there ARE still mysteries--always will be mysteries except to God.

Comment from June Sargent
This is lovely - the imagery of the night sky being a blanket of blue velvet is perfect. As a mantle of mystery - the night sky has much to reveal...well done!

Beautiful poem speaking of the serenity and majesty of the the night sky, which enthralled us as it did you. You stand small, alone and vulnerable, spell-bound by the grandeur. Then a metaphysical turn the reality and hardness of Truth. Excellent writing, thoughtful and pure.

Comment from Senyai
Hi Amada,
Such a strange and emotional poem with a connection to the mood of the sky on a cloudless, moonless, starless night. Staring up into that great beyond, you must have felt so small, I know I do. I love your carefully chosen phrases:
"Draped in blue velvet"
"tingles with the unknowns"
"mantle of mysteries"
...and then there is the fear element, knowing how small we really are looking up at the deep, sometimes impersonal expansive Universe.
" the truth is cold and flat like a heartless iceberg
I soak in the spell of this mystery, tonight."
Very well written, excellent perspective taken as you become child like in your awe.
Have a good week, Amada :))

Comment from rama devi
I love the sense of awe and serenity in this poem. It took my to the scene and made me feel I was also viewing a mantle of mysteries (great phrase!)
Nice alliteration o M, S and D-- and consonance of L and S too.The repetition of the word TONIGHT has a rhythmic groove. Well done!
Just a few suggestions on caps and punctuation for your consideration:
Draped in blue velvet(,) the sky shines tonight.
Deep and silent, it tingles with unknowns....
No moon or stars in the sky, tonight(.)
e(E)nthralled, I am, by this mantle of mysteries'.....
l(L)ike a child, I just inhale the wondrous sight....(PERIOD instead of ellipses)
(.)
t(T)he truth is cold and flat like a heartless iceberg(.)
I soak in the spell of this mystery, tonight.
With above edits:
Draped in blue velvet, the sky shines tonight.
Deep and silent, it tingles with unknowns....
No moon or stars in the sky, tonight.
Enthralled, I am, by this mantle of mysteries'.....
Like a child, I just inhale the wondrous sight.
The truth is cold and flat like a heartless iceberg.
I soak in the spell of this mystery, tonight.
TINGLE WITH UNKNOWNS... Nice!
Love this, dear friend.
Hugs,
