What do starry nights hold for you?

Once upon a starry night,
Upon a moonlit bay,
By angel’s grace,
By placid lakes,
The angels came to play,
The stars did shine,
Up in the sky,
As Great horned owl,
Flew slowly by,
Moon beams danced,
Upon the ground,
Timber wolves did howl,
White tailed deer,
Leaped and bound,
While listening to the sounds,
The angel’s voices,
Sang in chorus,
To the souls,
Upon the ground,
Yes once upon a starry night,
The angel’s came to play,
And as they floated,
Slowly away,
They took another,
Angel home,
When they left this day,

    Love the starry images. I don’t really know what they do for me. I live in the city and when I get out to my country retreat I really see them. The Southern Cross, Scorpio and the Southern dipper are simply majestic.

    Do you live in the city or the country where you can at least see th’ fkkrs?

    Good writin’ j.

    Very romantic lines. Reminiscent of the Victorian poet, Lord Byron.
