The Perfect Night By Alison Rich

I lay awake in bed

not able to fall asleep.

I look out my window

at the night.

I expect it to be dark

but I see the moon

shedding its light

on the world.

I could see its rays

shining through the

night's thin mist.

I open the window.

The cold night air

greets me.

An owl hoots nearby.

I climb out of bed

and walk out the

front door.

The night was calling me.

I stand under the night sky

feeling the rays of the

moon soak into my soul.

I look up.

The dazzling stars

overtake the sky.

Every constellation is visable.

I feel a rythm start

in my heart.

I start to dance.

The stars seem

to dance with me.

The frosty grass numbs

my feet but I do not care.

I don't have a care

in the world when

I dance with the

moon and the stars.
