Excellence Award in the 'Legendary 2012' competition
Moon so round and stars so bright,
I stare at the black sky in the middle of the night.
The cool, calm breeze brushing my cheeks,
Animals and insects form a choir and the land softly speaks.
The moon has returned, complete and defined,
With stars all around it, sweet and kind.
The sky deep and soothing, an endless tunnel of space,
What a site of awe and wonder. Such a beautiful place.
There is empty space all around me, my own comforting abyss
A place for only myself in the grass and debris,
The light breeze dances on as I bask in awe-filled pride,
Oh, the privacy, the beauty, the benefits of the country side.
