Paint the Sky with Stars









Paint the sky with stars,









And pull the shivering moon close









Whisper encouragement to the comets









With their extraordinary tails, infinitely more fantastic









Than the plumage of a rare, exotic bird.










Embrace the darkness of the night;









Listen close for the star’s sighing endearments,









Make the night your companion as you









Exchange stories of lost love.










When asked to share their secrets, the stars









Twinkle mischievously,









The moon winks mysteriously, and the comets









Sail by without a word.










The night inhabitants keep the best secrets.









They keep and keep and keep.
