Stargazing

Next time you’re bored not sure what to do
If it’s late at night here’s what you do

You step outside and look up through night air
What you’ll see is wonderful, a vast galaxy there

Pretend you’re an artist, the stars are your tools
The night sky’s your canvas, there are no rules

As you gaze to the north, to the south, east and west
Each view’s a masterpiece, which one is best

Once you’ve decided try blinking your eyes
A new picture formed with each of your tries

Dawn is arriving, you’re spent but feeling fine
You’re awaiting the dusk to try one more time.

The night

The night
so serene
holds many mysteries
within its cloak
of dull black
things that flutter
in the night
or chirp
to a nocturnal song.
Eerie shadows
walk
softly neath
a red glowing moon
that lights
the world
by night
setting
it aglow
with
raging fire
and then
settles
it
with torrents
of subtle winds
that whistle
through bare branches
of towering witch trees
staring
wide eyed
down
onto the sightless earth
and frightening life itself
till morning dawns anew.
