Dance

    The stars dance at night with the moon in the blissful darkness. Twinkling in the sky, they twirl about to the rhythm of nature. Crickets play their violins. Frogs croak out their low trumpets. Owls coo their flutes' sweet tunes. The music of the night fills the empty darkness and illuminates it. Fireflies trickle onto the stage as they join the dance of the stars, fluttering about. Water ripples quietly as it hums down the riverbed and carries the white lilies with it. All in harmony, nature sings in the night as the moon and stars dance to the sounds. The sun will never know the dance of the moon and stars.

    The sun spins around with jazz in the bright blue hue. The playful saxophone of elephants is heard in the tall grass near the riverbend. The drumming woodpecker beats at the tree in an upbeat rhythm. The low rumble sounding from the village nearby as it springs to life with mankind. Laughter and words make the music as the sun dances along. The wind joins alongside the tall grass in a fun, waving dance. The moon and stars will never know the dance of the sun.
