Beautiful Morning!

I rose at 4:30 and while walking the dog
      just had to stare at the sky.
The air was crisp and quiet.
The horizon was painted in soft clouds
      barely visible through the still leafless, skeltons of trees
      yet above the canopy of trees the majority of the sky was purple and cloudless
      showing off the stars with absolute clarity.
The moon hung low still in the clouds
      as not to diminish the brightness of the stars with its own light.
I could have stared at that sky for hours.
