They promise breezes cool and clean, sweet dreams, sweet cream simm’ring on the stove.
The earth is spinning oh-so-slow, thinning sunbeams fading in my shady grove.
A gentle cottage theme, I think, is best to see them, and I should know.
When the stars all come alive, those witching gems, those wish-giving things, brilliant, dang’rous, soft as snow, that is when my body thrives, when the night around me starts to glow.
National Poetry day was a week or so ago. The theme was Stars.
