Eve Roper Poet Rhyme

Wonderstruck In the Clear Night Sky

We are up so high on the mountaintop
That the night air is cool and so clean.
Moonlit shadows slow dance in leafless drop.
Free from pollution from the city unseen.

We lay gazing in awe at Mercury, Venus, and Mars,
Wonderstruck in the clear night sky,
The first epic theater of shimmering stars.
Dancing with the North Star that is hanging high.

The sounds of the gentle breeze embracing heaven;
A fleeting flash of white light flashing close,
While the campfire sheds its soft light driven
By unforeseen, untamable freedom in repose.

Nights spent under the stars while camping with my husband.

Anil Deo November 30, 2021 at 9:38 AM Line 7 is most brilliant ( day or night). Thx also for clearing the mystery : high up not in heaven ... Yet ... But camping.
