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!
