sleeping under the stars

Nights with no moon are the most quiet.

Dawn fades; planets, stars, satellites appear,

Darkness, contrast to constellations,

Silent, quiet, beautiful.

Nights with no moon are the most quiet.

Vast, limitless, unending space above,

Cicadas call, wind gently whisp,

Silent, quiet, beautiful.

Nights with no moon are the most quiet.

Rustling leaves breaks my trance,

Orions belt will protect,

Silent, quiet, beautiful.

Nights with no moon are the most quiet.

Oh, a shooting star!

Cool air blankets my exposed skin,

Silent, quiet, beautiful.
