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
