Myriads of Stars.
There are myriads of stars in the night sky,
The month of June is drawing nigh.
A new moon peeps timidly but bright,
To help lighten this beautiful night.
A shooting star drops elegantly into my view,
I make a wish I just know it will come true.
Insects making music in the nightly background,
Have you ever heard such a melodious sound?
A fresh warm breeze blows from afar,
In the distance the low hum of a car,
This is truly nature at it's best,
The busy day long gone to rest.
A nightingale sings a song of the night,
Much to my pleasure and great delight.
There are myriads of stars in the night skies,
Only sweet nature understands my surprise.

I like this Bernard, in its simplicity with a message of contentment, in spite of the lightning flashes around us. Cheers, Richard LP

Thank you Jennifer. I wrote this some years ago and dug it out from one of my old poetry books that I wrote mostly at night. Greetings from Bern.
