Quiet Mystery

I can see the mountains
emerging from the mist
slipping through the air sunlight
from space to Earth has kissed

every living being
not buried in the shade
making what was dreary
disappear and fade

slipping through the atmosphere
crashing into Earth
light beams are reflected
every day from birth

and every single evening
when night again comes back
starlight from so far away
replaces sunlight's lack

and when the Moon is shining
it reflects for all to see
sunlight's soft and glowing
quiet mystery....
