Amazing

Each August

dazzling lights illuminate the night sky

during

the Perseid meteor shower......

Last Saturday was the night this August.

To get the best view far away from the city lights

we

went somewhere perfect.....

Where

twilight was soft and velvety

the blue hour seemed to last forever

we listened to a symphony of night sounds along with a chorus of frogs all through the night

the trees were dressed in long drapes of Spanish moss

magical fireflies suddenly appeared in every tree

and

danced around us to a song only they could hear

we followed a trail lit only with tiny red lights to light the way

over a lake

and

up a hill

we looked up into the dark sky where time seem to stand still

as

comets with glowing tails so bright and fast

you could see their trails even after they had disappered into the darkness

I counted more comets

on

that one night than I had expected to see in a lifetime

as

they raced through the heavens and into my heart forever

Amazing

I wish I could have saved some to give to you.....
