Starry, Starry Night

STARRY, STARRY NIGHT I often look up towards the sky at night, And wonder who or what is there, I shout out loud, if you see or hear me, I love you, I do this every night, the starry sky, an absolute delight! I drive out of the city to the Kruger Park, There, not only am I close to nature and serenity, But to the universe, I look up, no pollution, I stretch my arms up high, excited, it is very dark! No street lights, or cars headlights, or any noise, The moon is so bright and full, it smiles at me, Quite rare, for normally the moon looks a little sullen, The stars, I’ve lost count, as they twinkle with such poise! The Milky Way so clear, I feel I want to reach up high, As it allures me, and weaves across the sky, Milky, so graceful and silent, as it, and I watch Sparkling stars, and planets rotating, unknown To mankind, yet to be discovered in our eternal Galaxy to which I want to fly! Our universe has constellations of stars, named mostly After mythology’s gods, who beckon, tempt and wink And entice me, but I am on planet earth, how near Could I reach this flamboyant display, body, soul And mind, holistically! So maybe if I look up into our never ending Sky at night, And wish upon one star, with imagination That runs rampant, I will see above and far beyond with breathless anticipation, What I could never imagine, an explosion that blinds me, An aura, translucently bright!
