Stars in the night I see
Scenery so sightly
Some are twinkling brightly
Small ones showing lightly
Staring at them nightly
Structure holds some tightly
Softly they delight me

Like a pearl, a prize, glowing bright
Against the setting of soft skies
Graceful as rain, my heart’s delight
Breathless promise in gentle eyes
Silently, soul yearnings arise
Shining down, a promise to write
Brilliant as the stars who chastise
Like a pearl, a prize, glowing bright
Laughing beyond the darkest night
Breathless wonder, music so wise
Perfect as a pearl, yet pale white
Against the setting of soft skies
Peaceful, joy seeking her disguise
Comforting the darkness, the fright
Gentling the fears before sunrise
Graceful as rain, my heart’s delight
Reflecting the moods who excite
Coloring moments with surprise
From sensations before midnight
Breathless promise in gentle eyes
Never listen to the dark lies
Moon glistening soft, such a sight
Tender flame, blushing, she supplies
So beautiful, kind and polite
Like a pearl, a prize

A porch light full moon glimpses me through patchworks of cotton candy clouds.

Unsettling rain forgets the sun and stars.
Obscurity of hue, gray clouds in style.
A ride along, the windshield splash, the haze.
I miss the cerulean skylight days!
The sudden peek-a-boo, the rainbow seeps.
The pallet’s full — the artist’s paint full tilt.
Explosive rush like gold poured from a box.
The weatherman pulls shiny words from stock.

Feathers of life twirling by the stars of drizzling light.
Breathing into a glowing dance, lighting up the night.
A window moved to let in the glory of the moon.
The breeze so cool tiptoes in lifting away the hem of my loom.
A smile, so strong emanates from my appearance.
The brightness of the sky has lit my countenance.

Stupendous, sublime,
seeing star-sprinkled skylight–
Swallow stardust sight.

Rehearsing through a starless night
Tangled limbs among silky threads
Silver heat of comet's flight
Blushing pink of dawn's sky
