Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Here down in south Florida we are blessed with clear, 

clean night time skies. 

 Even with the lights of the city, 

street lamps, garage lights, 

the night time sky is a wonder to behold.

The moon with its Cheshire 

cat grin, 

the big and little dipper,

different designs

that olden man saw

are still here today.

In the horizon

a planet shines

all a twinkly

making me

feel somewhat insignificant,

until I realized

that if I wasn't here to see it all

it wouldn't matter.

Even when it comes to man and nature

we need each other

and I hope in some small way

I am needed.

time for 

a significant cup

of coffee
