I look up-
And wander the night's sky...
My eyes embrace the stars,
And dance as a cool draft whispers past my face.
I shift my glance to the firm moist ground-
As it too dances...
And the wind still whispers softly.
I fall-
quickly from my feet.
The cool ground embraces my knees,
As my eyes once did the stars.
But now the stars are faded,
And the wind no longer whispers... it sings.
And there is a girl next door...
Whose eyes embrace the stars-
And the wind will someday sing to her too.
