When I look up at the dusky sky each night
see silver stars which are shining bright
moonbeams sparkle on the sea
I feel so carefree.
velvet blue
we
wave adieu
because soon I’ll see
the sun rising above me
until nightfall brings me pure delight
when I look up at the dusky sky each night

This is so very pretty, Jan. It's not your first Andaree , is it? I think I made a contest years ago and asked for Andarees. Maybe you have another one too! Congrats on your awesome win.

Hello Jan Allison, you never know what you will see in the sky at night. I like the shinny stars and the full moon in the black sky. Enjoy your evening my friend. Hugs

Sweet penning, Jan! Really just light as a feather!... And I thought I was in for a touch of sarcasm by the title... I forgot about your pure heart. ~ Not Minding His Manners
