Take Me Back

Take me back, 

To my heaven of a million lights

During twilight of humid, midwest nights.

In which even I could capture starlight brought to Earth 

Hold it in my hands; captured in my jar. 

Crickets sing a lovely lullaby-

An anthem of well-spent youth.

With the cadence of bellowing bullfrogs

In harmony with a billion katydids that play their own tune.

A call of peaceful night; A call to peaceful sleep.
