Constance La France Poet Quintain (English)

Stars Stir and Wink

 
when twilight comes soon the night falls
       and I lay my head on my pillow
    while up above the stars sprawl
        oh, my bedroom curtains billow
      so, I rise and go to my window

and I find myself drifting in the dark sky
       to see a zillion twinkling stars
    (but, I didn't know I could fly)
        and I notice one star stirs
      oh, I think this is my beloved that lures

and then more stars stir and wink at me
      and I glide and fly that way
    such a wonderful feeling of carefree
       until the stars fade into day
     and back to my bed I go to lay
