Counting Stars

Counting Stars!

I see the moon and the stars,
Glowing bright and scattered apart.
I count em one to some numbers
And mean while I get your thoughts.

I get your thoughts that you too be looking at em,
May be counting or just wondering at  them.
Or may be the ?? Moon wondering on you
That without you here Stars are few.

So do you go out in the night,
Under the sky when no there's no City light.
And say hi to the Moon and to the stars,
Cos I miss the count as the moon shows your flash.

Yes, starring, counting and shape forming..... Moon centered and the semi transparent clouds, floating below clean sky, I take them as my colours of canvas of starry night.... Ha ha... I'm glad you loved it too :) thank you Charmane :)
