the stars twinkle in the night
they shine down on me as i lay on
the blanket in the cool damp grass
and look up at the sky
there is something magical about it
the way the stars sprinkle the
darkness, sort of like
God took a palette and
painted the canvas that is the night sky
but the stars alone were
not enough to keep the universe
going, so he added
a moon to give out radiant light
he painted other worlds
up there too
right now, the only
other world i can think about
is the one i could have with you

but to me you are my moon
and to you i am only a star
