Starry Sky


starry sky across my palm
some lights bright and others dim
star shine calms my heart like balm
the night sky soothes my every whim
as I imagine the blue, blue sea
rocking like an infant in its cradle
no waves threatening my bedtime tea
as I sit and rock gently as I’m able
my thoughts run over the porch rail
as crickets sing their syncopated tune
no bubbles of conversation curtail
the rhapsody of summertime to the moon
soon enough sweet slumber comes
as the song of the whippoorwill strums
