The stars are the jewels of the night, and perchance surpass anything which day has to show. - Thoreau

i long for the night

hot breath of thick, shooting stars

sleepy, spinning world

Hi Pete,
I love that you quote Thoreau...such beautiful thoughts which I gather inspire you?
And, I love what you wrote... I have gone back to read those words several times..
"hot breath of thick, shooting stars" is such a great line as it moves my imagination ... thinking about stars...Recently at dinner with friends we discussed the probable existence of other "beings" in the distance...They too must see those glorious stars...
Anyway,
Loved your thoughts,
Lisa, still in Spain

Shooting Star by Bad Company...cryptic and powerful.

I love the "hot breath of thick, shooting stars"...Words are power when used correctly.

I covet that gift!
