As the radiant sun drops
Below the distant horizon
And stars slowly brighten
Upon them I kept my eyes on
A twinkle here
A sparkle there
All to provoke
The smile I’m inclined to wear
For the beauty of the night sky
Upon my soul a magnetic pull
Such as the tug from a lunar friend
Every month a moon so full
Across the Milky Way
The life that might exist
I want to believe
In evidence we may have missed
And there, a shooting star
A meteor from only God knows where
Entranced with mouth agape
All I can do is stare
For if I could reach out my hand
And touch this cosmos miracle
My fingers blessed with
Fitting words so lyrical
This wondrous starlight view
There before my eye
Think I’ll quote an old Rock & Roller
“’Scuse me while I kiss the sky”
