Gazing at the Stars

Heaven's Bean Pot
filled with many stars
as I look through my telescope
from a world quite afar.

I can see the planet Mars
and the spiraling Milky Way
the Big Dipper and the Little one
seem a million miles away.

All swimming in a sea
of sparkling midnight blue
and what should come to mind
but the evening I spent with you.

It takes me back to that night
not so very long ago
when I held you in my arms
and gazed at the stars aglow.
