Tiny ballerinas of dust,
Their stage a flickering stream of light,
Torch illuminating their dance,
For the ballet of the night,
Solid stars soar above,
Formed as fireflies take flight,
Floating along the skyline,
Lighting the ballet of the night,
Soft clicks of unseen musicians,
Crickets humming away, out of sight,
Sounds sending shivers down backs,
Music for the ballet the night,
Final bows are taken,
The stage bathed in a golden light,
The calls of birds, a last applause,
For the ballet of the night,
