Stelliferous

.
Stelliferous the stars o’erspread
that lace the heavens overhead
and sparkle plentifully bright
to grace the atramental night
when face of lumined sol has fled.
.
Sidereals the skies embed
bejeweling where dreamers tread
to render poets’ fancies quite
stelliferous.
.
With wonderment the welkin’s wed
to linger long in starry bed
‘midst tapestries all strands unite
of infinite supernal light
e’er woven with celestial thread
stelliferous.

Image: Palomar 6 ~ This sparkling starfield, captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys, contains the globular cluster ESO 520-21 (also known as Palomar 6). A densely packed, roughly spherical collection of stars, it lies close to the center of the Milky Way, where interstellar gas and dust absorb starlight and make observations more challenging.
