Under The Stars

Sheets of stars wrap my soul
With joy each one perfect pinhole
Sharp diamond dust in zero blue
Forever in a single view

Rippling stars gently stroke
The warped sides of my tiny boat
Sleep in summer humidity
Dancing comfort minding me

Twinkling stars kindly smile
On my cottage's glistening tiles
Thunderstorm fresh pre-dawn cold
Honest wise as I grow old

Cross-fading stars glance and hide
Their cloudy curtains nighttime-wide
A cheeky peek, a lingering stare
Before extinguishing all care

icy stars fiercely glare
for brilliance never sparkling there
the awesome sun I cannot see
burn impossible heat with me
