Starry Night

Of one thousand stars I see there are many more unseen I’m amazed how they sparkle they do not sleep or dream. when I hear the stars are out tonight I sleep before to stay awake the moon will rise and give notice to the coming of awe before the break the sky will lighten heavens palace sending down rays of illuminating light covering the first frost late autumn reminding me of winter’s nearing sight If I could take just a few stars I’d put them on a tall tree I’d walk the ground beneath the glow blessed with all that is given free.
