What You Create Near Me

You know what it’s like when the sun still shines And the stars all poke their heads out to see Does the wind still linger here to caress Would there be such an expression simply The breeze might not be shown so perfectly The light isn’t the masterful light shown These stars aren’t the best ever seen at night Even so, you make evening the best known I can sense the brightness of your aura Your instant gracious smile does inspire me And enlightens my soul with all delight Nature bends its rules ever so slightly Have you seen when the sun is still shining And the stars have come out for all to view The wind wraps itself around you again This is how I feel when I’m here with you Russell Sivey
