Starry Night

Of one thousand stars I see
there are many more unseen
I’m amazed how they sparkle
they do not sleep or dream.

when I hear the stars are out tonight
I sleep before to stay awake
the moon will rise and give notice
to the coming of awe before the break

the sky will lighten heavens palace
sending down rays of illuminating light
covering the first frost late autumn 
reminding me of winter’s nearing sight

If I could take just a few stars
I’d put them on a tall tree
I’d walk the ground beneath the glow
blessed with all that is given free.
