Last Burst In Night's Sky

last burst in night’s sky
stars shimmer and fizzle out. . . . 
 fireflies dance on

Andrea me again, just to answer you q on "the palette" piece, honestly I didn't have someone specific in mind cause I don't know someone personally that is blind, but I feel honoured that you would think so, it means I've got the message across.. Still don't know where that piece came from.. Love Wilma
