Starry Night

Starry Night


Sleepless and awake
To the lawn I did go
Watching the stars
And the moon so aglow

Just gazing above
In yon starry night
Released from fear
And earthly plight

In Vastness so big
My problems so small
Quiet contentment
To be part of it all

No mighty struggle
No perfection on earth
With Devine acceptance
A New found rebirth

Now slumbering comfort
Removed of all fright
In contented pleasance
On a Starry Night

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
