Night Sky

FredPeyer

Void filled star spangled night sky

Seducing lovelorn red necks

Imprinting visions of patriotic grandeur

 

Void filled star spangled night sky

Mirroring in lover’s eyes

Promising everlasting love

 

Void filled star spangled night sky

Rescuing the souls of the lonely

Dim light brightening their future

 

Void filled star spangled night sky

Guiding light for the lost

Returning them back to the path

 

Void filled star spangled night sky

There for all to see

But received only by the few

          Very good and very true Fred, so few see.

          • FredPeyer

            Thanks Goldfinch. Too many people are looking down at their feet instead of up!

          • Fay Slimm.

            Night sky so appealingly described in this perceptive write Fred - true it's majesty is "there for all to see - but received only by the few"

            • FredPeyer

              Thank you Fay! Sometimes we do not see the forest because of the trees!

            • Tony36

                  I'm afraid I'm one of the few who do not see the "Star spangled night sky". Damn night-blindness! But hey, I'm blessed to have the vision I have!
                  I like the lead-in lines of each phrase repeating as the poem progresses. Nice effect, good write, Fred!

                  • FredPeyer

                    Thanks so much, Louis! I am so sorry about your night-blindness. You don't see anything at night? How about during the day? My sister has MS and her sight is slowly going bad to a point where she has to use a magnifying glass to read the newspaper.

                    • Louis Gibbs

                      My day vision is fine. My eyes just don't dark-adapt at all. I see but a very few of the brightest stars. Thanks for asking, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Fred!

                      • FredPeyer

                        And a very happy Thanksgiving to you too, my friend!

                      • myself and me

                        Reading your poem under the night sky, fell asleep with star sparkle above.

                        • FredPeyer

                          ...and stars in your eyes!!! Thank you m&m for a very nice comment!
