Starlight …
Icy crystalline sparkles
beaming brilliance
‘gainst the moonlit  winter sky

Stars bright.
Luminescent wonders.
Scintilla laid bare in the heavens
by the pale white light of the moon

Full moon
bathing dingy cityscapes,
their dim lit ****** tales told
‘neath streetlamps’ jaundiced glow.

We walk,
slip on ice, crunch through snow,
watching  for sliding cars
and dangers lurking in shadows.

Moonlit
whitewashed winter  wind
winds through desolate streets
on a pale cold night in the city.

Walk on.
Whistling winds, barking dogs,
chill us, spur our pace, on
through the moonlight and cold.

Our  wish
upon this night’s heavenly stars
is to  be safely home, watching
from icy windows … winter  walkers.
