Sitting out on
the front porch gathering in the spring evening
The suns nearly
down and the powdery blue sky begins to dim
There’s a slight
caress of cool refreshing air helping to bring on the night
The cat daintily
steps through spring’s promising foliage
Crouching now
and then to pounce on an invisible foe
By now the sky
has deepened in color
Beginning to
reveal widely scattered muted points of light
The outline of
the trees against the sky disappears
Night has
arrived in its fullness
Cloaking the
earth in serene shades of black
Here and there
the hushed stars of a few moments ago surge in intensity
It is their sky
tonight, the moon hidden away in the shadow of the earth
Long before
their full presence can be seen time has grown short
Tomorrow pushes
me from my front row seat
Perhaps I’ll see
the full display another night…
