Under the Stars
Let us sleep here under the stars
And feel such simple quiet content
No people, no bother, no fuss
Let’s be young again and innocent
The night soft and caressing
The leaves our blanket on the ground
The world a place of peaceful calm
With sounds of nature all around
No more subjugation or rules
Obligations or wounds agape
Unseen fears to tie us down
Or heart felt longing to escape.
A place of soothing solitude,
The stars a cover for our bed
The breeze our tender lullaby
The moon our guardian overhead.
You and I, as one at last
Reaching across an endless space
In euphoric ecstasy
Entwined together, face to face.
