The Perfect Night Sky After the Rain

Something to Make the Evening a Little Brighter

Just the right shade of blue to show the sky at night,

Not too dark or too bright,

Just the right shade of gray for the clouds to blend,

In a moment feeling as though time will not so easily bend,

One star to light the vision above like looking at the ocean with its floating lighted images of the things that surround,

A perfect start to a dreamy vision of floating up from the ground,

Floating into this space where these calming colors swim into motion,

Almost as though drinking a magical potion,

Clouds slowly passing around the stars,

Moving over the below cars,

Picturing people standing on the floating boat shaped clouds circling around,

Figures moving to the sound of a car horn like a waltz on the dance floor on top of a mound of colorful dirt floating,

With a little extra gray coating,

Back down below still thinking,

Almost looks as though the star is winking,

What a calming dream in this midnight dream,

Watching the image passing above almost makes me feel as though I am floating on water in a never-ending comforting stream.
