Amongst The Stars
On a cold November night
we watch the stars
together, your little hand
in mine,
Watch stars of shining
spray in an endless sea,
Watch darkness pin-pricked
with silver light,
Watch glitter sprinkled from
a velvet sky –
A thousand petals,
falling, from an ancient tree
Ask I ask you,
what are you thinking?
And you answer,
I’m thinking that there’s
Someone up there and
He’s looking back …
especially at me.
