An Evening In Paradise

Shimmering stars,
the clear night sky,
not a single cloud in sight.
The crickets chirp,
the owls coo,
on a warm summers night.

The long grass beneath our backs,
flattened to the ground;
eyes focused on those lucky stars,
our confidante,
the carriers of wishes and dreams.

Majestic is the view as they float above the world,
suspended in time, burning ever-bright.
Dazzle me once and a sucker I'll be,
for the world and its beauty;
a rarity in life, the only pure and everlasting.
