Asleep Under Stars Poem by Phil Soar

Drifting towards sleep, surrounded by stars
An open bewildering sight up above
Amazed by the beauty as the moon lights the sky
Lost in the arms of the one that I love

On a warm autumn evening, the campfire aglow
Whispering words to each other,
Mentioning all of the signs that we know
Treating the night as a welcoming brother

We eventually give in to the feeling of calm
And in sleep, our eyes close
Like the stars in the sky, an enveloping balm
Keeps us safe, until the welcoming dawn
