Starry Starry Night

Starry Starry Night	

It was a crystal clear night when one 
By nocturnal watch lies gazing into the darkness 
The eternal endless expanse brought to life by stellar light.
 Stars so close that one could capture its brilliance 
Reaching, grasping, touching 
Hands extended to keep one forever.   
Through this glorious sea of galactic beauty 
The gazer finds what he is searching for,
The collimation of sight aligning his future   
One distant, tiny twinkle, 
An apparition eclipsed by others, 
Falls through the night into his universe.
He closes his eyes and makes a wish.
