Starry Night

Oh, starry night.

Plunging darkness, covering

the emerald sky

with an ebony blanket of

luminous stars.

Crescent moon, quavering

with its iridescent

light. Delicate unicorns,

drinking moonlight,

prancing in the Forest

Sublime. Greeting

the sun as it swallows

the desolate darkness,

not to be seen again,

till dusk returns.
