Long after all the lights go dark
sweet kisses stolen, creating mistletoe sparks
children's laughter drawing to a close
as the evening dims and the snowflakes flow
lights beyond start to capture your eyes
secret wishes start to fill the skies
even in the cold, a distant warmth grows deep
as starlight fills earth hearts that sleep
listen close into the silent night
the stars are singing with words so bright
joy and peace are in our dreams
no nightmares dreamt, no fear is seen
lights beyond are a seasonal gift
Christmas stars each one a wish
goodnight to darkness, greetings to light
a gift to all on this beautiful night.

Thanks for letting me share this, it was a joy to write for this challenge, and as much as I love the night sky it seemed fitting for me write about that as my theme.
