Poem 11/6/09

The Night
Clear and Open
Black and Blue
A fresh midnight
With bits of glittering dots
Hanging over
All of us
Scattering across the horizon
Universal waves of light
Echoing voices of space

Close and Orbiting
Yellow and White
Rarely Red
Rarely hiding a Sun
A complete moon
Lunar essences
Stroking sea's hair
Whispering if you care
Is there any more or less
Enlightening us with your glare
A night
Free for us
