 STARS
Twinkling
 owls hooting

flickering fireflies
 flash in and out of  trees
 laughter echoes through the night

"Light twinkles above and below"

' Light twinkles above and below ' Exactly, when you have stars above as fireflies flutter while embracing the night. This is beautiful in every way. : ) Hugs, Brandy
