Gemstones are sprinkled generously
In the Camelopardalis spiral galaxy,
NGC 2403.
In the centre,
Scarlet rubies hold court with
Brilliant yellow diamonds,
While blue sapphires
With oceanic inclusions
Cluster around; a haloed crown.
Lofty citrines light up
The onyx night,
Making it look so alive.
A galaxy of gems.
What heady faire
In the brilliant sky!
