Marvelling at the sight:

A Cimmerian,inky hue

Splayed across a twinkling canvas

Of the iridiscent night.

Stars glimmered assuredly:

my tensed form assuaged,

tensed breath and shoulders

grew slack; unfettered

Like the flight of a once-bridled bird.

Blue turned

to encompassing black

Lashes feather-like

Against skin;

Coiled raven tresses

Unfurled in the soothing wind.

A sigh escaped parted lips

Gentle touches brushing across grass

Wispy murmurs soundless in the night:

In a sky full of stars.
