Night Stars

Night Stars

The night like a curtain,

closes on the day.

The night stars,

come twinkling over the city.

They shine like so many glittering eyes

and I feel like I had too much wine.

Wondering what my heart,

could wish for tonight,

the night star s,

so very bright,

trying to outshine,

the neon lights below

and I climb up higher,

to the rooftop.

So that I can be,

so much closer,

to the night star s above.

As I look over the millions of windows,

all across the city,

I see that in the dark ones,

night stars reflect.

As the wind whips up,

clouds come drifting by,

playing with light and shadow.

The night stars,

blinking at me,

up close could outshine,

flashing neon lights –

that light up the city nights.

Out in the country,

the moon was always my beacon,

slicing through the dark,

while the stars followed along.

In the city, I think,

that big, old moon,

is laughing,

seeing how city people trip the light fantastic –

long into the night.

While the night stars,

keep twinkling merrily,

the noises of the city,

seem so far away

and I look over toward the river –

that the moon has made a silver ribbon.

My heart rejoices at the beauty,

that the night provides,

keeping watch over the night stars,

merrily twinkling –

long into the night.

I know I’ll be dreaming,

along with these magical orbs,

up in the sky –

till the early morning light.
