Lullabies in the Night

I sat outside of my trailer, and turned every light out, to look up and see such delight

If I could bottle
Every star
And listen to their light,
They'd sound like chimes
-Ding'ring ring'ding,

Lullabies in the night-

Each star would shine
a different color
Red and yellow,
Blue and white,

Then their hushed
Ring-ding-
Dingity-ding
Would Whisper, soft,
Sweet
Heavenly things.

The sky'd then open
And darkness would flood in,
To the chimes of the night
That the stars welcomed in

A choreographed dance
Rippling
Soft, sweet rays
-Bottled up chimes

to a Heavenly gaze-

Stargazing is a simple way to enjoy the beauty of one facet of nature. The wonder in this canopy of space is a 'free' powerful experience; which is reflected in your lovely poetic lullaby ... well written and easy read - bless ... :-)

Your writing is visceral. How you write about light is quite pleasing. The song "colours" by Donovan is now stuck in my head.

I enjoyed this immensely.

I need to look up this song now! Thank you so much for your kind review!

[Meliss@k]

Just listened- what a happy go lucky, lovely song. :) now I’ll always have a poem to remind me of a song, and a song to remind me of a poem ☺️

The very best version is the one he does on old timey black and white tv with Pete Seeger.

very pretty poem, able to talk about the earth and all the beauty that comes with it :) pretty job :)

[Inject Positivity]

How beautiful our universe is yet we forget to experience their beauty, we hardly look at them... Your poem says so much about the true unfailing beauty that we have in front of our eyes... The poem gives the reader a mesmerizing feel... Very well done...

Sincerely

The night sky is much more magnificent without the glare of the city lights.
Your poem has a soothing feeling about it.

[Tom McRoberts]

Very sweet poem. I really liked the 'ring-ding-dingity-dinging', there's no better way to convey sound to a reader than to actually speak it out! That said, not sure I could personally envision that sound whispering. Great stuff, keep it up!
