A Fisherman’s Wish On a clear and silvery night like this The sky is filled with a fishernan’s wish A million fish in the heaven’s blue To be caught by a fisherman just like you Sail up to the black of the nightime sea And caste your fisherman’s net for me So bright are the sparkling stars at night So beautiful the twinkling heavenly light Your blanket is a fine woven net of gold A bounty of treasure your net will hold It’s very easy to grab a star That swims in the calm where the sea fish are So fill up your net with the silver fish Each fish is a star-lit mother’s kiss Look up at the fish in the night time sea And tell me how many kisses you see May you always know there’s a net to pull For your whole life through, a heart that’s full Your little eyes close as you gaze at the sky You’ll never be able to count that high So pretty the stars on a night like this The sky is filled with a fisherman’s wish Elizabeth Santos |

Sail up to the black of the nightime sea And caste your fisherman’s net for me So bright are the sparkling stars at night So beautiful the twinkling heavenly light Your blanket is a fine woven net of gold A bounty of treasure your net will hold It’s very easy to grab a star That swims in the calm where the sea fish are So fill up your net with the silver fish Each fish is a star-lit mother’s kiss Look up at the fish in the night time sea And tell me how many kisses you see ================================== My oh my...what a beauty this is... a clever employ of metaphor and theme, needless to say the imagery is stunning, such a lovely ethereal inspire Liz. thank you for sharing your starlit skies with us.  jmWell I looked to the sky for my anthem |
