Star Struck

We quietly glance around

Seeing no light 

Our feet hit the ground

Making a sound so slight

The floor creaks

As we silently creep

As far as the world is concerned, 

We are still asleep

Out the door and outside

Into the cool night air

Flashlight out,

We don’t want a scare

Soon we are down, 

At the edge of the lake

Luckily for us, 

It’s still hours before daybreak

We walk down the dock

In the dead of night

Turning off our flashlights,

We see a majestic sight

Billions of beautiful stars

Hanging in the sky

Everyone is awe in wonder

Nobody blinks an eye

We can see the big dipper

Outlined in bright stars

It is such a clear night

We might get to see Mars

Everybody looks at the beautiful sky

Little stars like candles in the blue so clear

But then we are caught by surprise

As the stars disappear

Then we looked to the east

And saw the morning light

This wonderful show is over

But it plays again tomorrow night
