3rd in the 'Watch Out! 2000' competition

I look up at the starry sky
I see the bright moon drifting high
I watch the waves of the sea
The clouds are looking down at me
I look up into the velvet blue
No constellation of a kangaroo
I pick up all those many stones
I hear the rushing ocean’s tones
I’ll always remember this starry night
I’ll never forget this magical sight
