Tonight we Dance


I stare wakeful into the night

Bats flying, night crawlers probing the bushes for a taisty meal

The night is mysterious but the sky...

The glimmer from the stars reflecting in my pale blue eyes

My wonder and questions unanswered by the pitch blackness that gazes upon me

My elegance illuminated by the moonlight

I ask her when ill dance with the constellations

When midnight arrived my time had come

Vanishing from this material world to join my sisters among the night sky.
