Out on the road,
far from town and city
Where wallabies roam
and birds nestle in tree tops
Amongst the wilderness
A most heavenly sight I saw
There in that celestial dome above
More stars then one could hope to count
Yellow, gold, silver, blue
All aglow that autumn night.
That vastness of such burning beauty
Seemed incomparable to the city’s light
The shining landscape no mind could fully know
The Maker’s thought which made them glow.
This is what I saw one cold autumn night
Far from city or from town
Where wallabies roam and birds nestle in tree tops
This is where one finds the celestial treasury.

Out on the road,

Where wallabies roam
and birds nestle in tree tops
Amongst the wilderness
A most heavenly sight I saw
There in that celestial dome above
More stars then one could hope to count
Yellow, gold, silver, blue
All aglow that autumn night.
That vastness of such burning beauty
Seemed incomparable to the city’s light
The shining landscape no mind could fully know
The Maker’s thought which made them glow.
This is what I saw one cold autumn night
Far from city or from town
Where wallabies roam and birds nestle in tree tops
This is where one finds the celestial treasury.
My very first poem inspired by the amazing country night sky.
