New poem: Evening stars

New poem: Evening stars

Evening stars up there tonight

Winking in your twinkling light

For by shapes in clever ways

Night by night, up there you stay

Constellations ages old,

Galaxies so vast and bold,

Uncharted cosmos, deepest space,

Up I look and see your face

Some nights the clouds drift over you

A downy quilt which hides from view

Your comforting and quieting light

Hides your beauty from my sight

But though I can't see you sometimes,

I just remember, then remind

This mind that so quickly forgets

Those evening stars are patient yet

For when the clouds are blown away

Those evening stars will fresh display

Their dark and shadow piercing light

Refocusing my clouded sight

Evening stars, my night time friends,

Help me see when day's light ends.
