Nighttime

Fireflies blinking
in the moonlight
crickets' chirping
drifting in the breeze

A darkened sky
like a large black
pupil
waiting to see
the sun's morning glow
arise in the east

Stars watching
looking down from above
sparkling
in the deep blue pool
of the night

I kind of want to sit down next to that girl who seems so entinced with something everyone sees...can I see it with her? will I see it the same way? It makes me long to feel absorbed with something mutual...simply because what is the mutual feeling is a feeling most pleasant for sure!
