Sparkling Stars

With the last glimmer of sunset When the shadows chase the light As the rivers flow back into the skies Dotted with silver specks, twinkling In time with the clock ticking by Onto a dark drape stretched across This beautiful earths face! The arrival of the night a spectacular sight Cicadas and crickets welcome her With their ceremonious band And street lights blink to get A better view from their stands! Starry, starry nights send The sky into raptures The sparkling stars Exploding like foaming wine!
