Like diamonds on black velvet
they shine in the night
reflecting off the ripples
in the windswept pond.
Dancing, sparkling, bringing light
til dawns glow breaks the horizon
sending them to their beds, to oblivion
until dusks last twilight leaves
and once again they come forth 
on a darkened stage
to bring joy into the hearts
of those who love...
The Stars.

While the sky slowly fades
the lights come up
bathing the city
in artificial sun
The lights are so bright
no stars can be seen
Of what do city kids dream?
They hear about the stars
and how they shine at night
but the glittering twinkle
from millions of miles away
cannot compete with the streetlights
just down on the corner
Maybe that is what is wrong with kids today
city kids have nothing to dream of
and country kids take it all for granted.....

Softly glowing
on the eastern horizon
as twilight darkens the night
One small orb, a dim reflection
of the suns brilliant light.
Playful moonbeams dance
through the swaying branches
of the windswept evergreens
as the wolf calls to its mate in the distance.
Sparkling off the crytal lake
and touching on the wide-spread wings
of the snowy owl as it glides
slowly thru the night.
Slowly dimming on the western horizon
as dawn reaches relentlessly towards
another day, bringing light too bright
for the magic to stay....

Some look for silver
     Others for gold
Some look for diamonds
     Others for coal
Some look for happiness
     Others for money
Some look for solitude
     Others for company
Some look for love
     Others for power
Some look for noise
     Others for a quiet hour
Doesn't matter what
You're looking for,
The end of the rainbow
Is whatever you make it....
