Lying on my back one clear night
With nothing above to deter my sight
On a grass lawn I viewed the sky
The scene was just too peaceful to deny.
Stars twinkled against the dark cloudless scene
With the full moon floating above so keen
A meteor flew down brightly from above
Would it grant our wishes or not?
Bats on the sky from here to there flew
Owls, however, were nowhere in view
Fireflies turned on and off their lights
To signal their paths of flight.
Distant sounds of howling were heard
Though they were far away from my yard
Nearby, insects signaled their presence
Completing the peaceful nightly essence.
