THE MOON AND THE STARS

Sparkling diamonds fill the sky
As far as the eye can see
They were placed there one by one
Positioned so carefully.

Midnight blue with specks of silver
Ignite the glistening sky
The power of the universe
Is enough to make you cry.

Off to the side, but still in view
The moon among the clouds
Now cut in half, the crescent moon
Is embarrassed by the crowd.

Intimidated by their beauty
She slips back, she turns away
Not as impressive as a sparkling star
She’s afraid of what they’d say.

Silly being frightened
The moon stands all on its own
The moon and stars should mingle
Their appearance sets the tone.

A moonlit night, the sky above
Make a wish upon a star
Look up and see the spectacle
From wherever on earth you are.

Becomes the night’s love story.

    1. I’m smiling. Funny how the moon and stars become a symbol of romance…maybe because they are so far away and unattainable. Uh oh…. that sounded pessimistic! My glass really is half full, except where politics are concerned! πŸ™‚
      Thank you for commenting. Hope you have a wonderful day! πŸ’™
