We parked the Jeep
and watched the moon rise over the lake.
Only a few clouds
glowing
with the glory of the moonlight.
The entire sky lit up with stars,
a universe-sized canopy of fairy lights
The baby fell asleep
in her car-seat.
We watched
for shooting stars
until
we
fell asleep,
too.
Beautiful poem! I just came back from a week up north and this poem really resonated with me. I love the imagery and yo
ur use of metaphor. These lines really resonated with me…
The entire sky lit up with stars,
a universe-sized canopy of fairy lights
It is so dark up north…the stars twinkle that much more brightly and yes, the universe unfolds. I loved the tone of your poem as well-excellent!
