For what could be the reason
When I look up at the night sky
Suddenly I’m compelled to write
For wisdom of the stars I pry
Or is it the stars
Who call upon me
With twinkling inspiration
In the starlight I see
Then on the ocean horizon
The coming of dawn’s early light
And oh, how wonderful
Tranquil and peaceful this sight
With seagulls aloft
Soaring on gentle breeze
The tide calmly advances
Soft waves to the beach they tease
And the morning hours
Fuel for more poetic words
Notions within my heart
Certainly I’ve heard
As the hours pass
Life awakens in town
Activity everywhere
Morning greetings abound
The sun’s light poetically dances
Everything it touches spawns life anew
The colors throughout the day
Smiles on happy faces too
Slowly, the sun descends
As it’s pulled down from the sky
A sunset so beautiful
Hypnotized, all I can do is sigh
Again, I’m captivated as
The stars come out
Now I see wisdom of the stars
Inspirational light no doubt
