Communing With the Night

A flame among the heavens.
Burning midnight sky.
Afterwards, in the burnt ashes.
Are where the flames now lie.

We've had our little visit.
Communing with the night.
Showing all the universe.
Inner earthly light.

For Nette's contest, shine with your Naani.
Written by Robert Johnson  on June 23rd, 2014

very nice one for her contest, Robert. It's a good contest,don't you think? Change "lye" to "lie" in case she is looking at your spelling.
