Night Blanket

There's a lot less talking
away from city lights
a lot more quiet
under starry nights

A lot less chaos
when you take time out
more to breath in
relax all the doubt

A lot less congestion
in the open country air
more to appreciate
the city don't compare

A lot less noise
from all the open bars
just toasting marshmallows
underneath the stars

I wouldn't change a thing
the city's not for me
underneath the blanket
of stars I'd rather be.

Paula you so speak my heart. I live in Carolina and will always be a country girl. This is beautiful and expresses a love of nature's gems as well as a preference for it verses city life!

Underneath the blanket of stars- ahh, that's so enchanting and magical! Yes, the air has more freshness and rejuvenating vibe if we actually take a moment to inhale in present, away from the chaos.. A very beautiful and deep write, loved reading this!
