The Christmas Star shone brilliant
in the evening star for many eyes
to see but hid it’s brilliance from me
for Saturn & Jupiter danced in tandem
on a stage sprinkled with a universe
of stars holding court for them
and I stepped into the predawn light
to see a night sky littered with stars
applauding a new day in dawning

We were out as well. Saw Jupiter/Saturn conjunction with just binoculars, which was predicted online. The stars were indeed out and brilliant! Love your artistic rendition, Renee! Merry Christmas! ❤

Thank you Betty. The sky was quite brilliant that night and especially so when I took my dog out early in the morning and you could see every star in the still dark sky. It was amazing!
