Thoughts in the Night
Shining through the dark night sky
Beams of starlight catch my eye
Shared with a brilliant fetching glow
Of the luminous moon hanging low
Shadows from a barren branch
The lonely tree across the ranch
Gleaming lights of a distant town
The sounds of which are nearly drown
I watch and listen for awhile
To relive the innocence of a child
I think back to the days before
Imagination and forgotten lore
Wondering about the ultimate cost
Of growing up and of what we’ve lost
