Quote taken from Leslie Parrish's poem in The Bridge Across Forever by Richard Bach


"When night came,
    a baby moon
    laughed sideways in the dark"      
      
      at white goose down clouds
      flotillas in navy night
                
          adagio armadas twinkling
          galleons armed in stardust
          ad infinitum

And I, who am pirated away,
    cross lightyears and eternity
    on a mere breath of summer's
    night wind

Loved the descriptions of the night here, Klassy Lassy! I could see them and could feel a warm summer breeze (which felt really nice on  this chlly March day).

skyshine:  I'm beneath the Northern stars, too. Summer is still just a dream, but happily the days are beginning to warm a little.

Goldenrose:  Welcome!   I'm always happy with positive feedback.  Glad you came by.

Lady, watching the large white clouds on a bright night does so remind me of large boats scudding across the sky...magical, somehow

OWLISA: Always delighted to see you, too!  Thank you for the warm response.  I'll try not to diasappoint you.

Dark:  Talons?  uh oh! (My poem did come right after yours!)  LOL  But you make me remember the pics my son sent me from AK of those majestic birds--thirty or more at a time-- scavenging on the crabbing boat they used to fish the Bering Sea! Thinking of those waters makes me shudder.  

I am delighted you like my poems enough to read them!

Jo, thank you. The universe is so spectacular, I can't begin to fathom the little bits of it I see, but gaze in dumbfounded amazement.

Beautiful Klassy, I love the night sky and I love seeing it through your eyes. This is the essence of star gazing or sky gazing. Looking up with someone and telling what you see. :-)
