'There are a few stars tonight <br />Just scattered pebbles in the sky <br />And the moon was nowhere in sight <br />Like empty valley to human eye <br /> <br />I stood alone with fascination <br />On this night of good reflection <br />As the silence was only broken <br />By insects that wander in the open <br />For as the elderly saying <br />That it's safe to walk this ground <br />If there was constant chirping <br />Of the crickets rhythmic sound <br /> <br />My dream, my dream this many nights <br />Is to walk alone this unlighted path <br /> <br />That neither scorpions or wild dogs <br />Snakes and other predators <br />Will be present... <br />When I stroll this obscure sand <br /> <br />There are a few stars tonight <br />And to be alone this time of night <br />The ideal place where I can pray <br />And ask for blessing on my days.'<br /><br />Jesus James Llorico<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-few-stars-tonight/
