Stargazer II
by
Richard James Van Der Draaij
That night, that silly Summer's night,
he walked outside in a funny sort of mood,
Was transfixed at once by the dazzling light,
of a million stars; Diana's ancient brood.
He saw his soul transformed in this,
array of pecks of light,
He hoped that he would never miss,
the memory of this sacred sight,
Wonderful silly night of stars,
strange silver Moon, hanging high above,
Rays of light; no prison's bars,
he bathed in light and breathed love,
Tender years, petty fears,
vanishing away like melting ice,
Or sofly drying birthday tears,
until he once again felt nice.
