Night Sky

Night sky

One night the sky was the color of fire and ice

The wind was howling out, something not very nice

Out on the balcony the cat did wonder

To look at the dead man tree way over yonder

Swinging in the midnight breeze

Was a body among the dying leaves

The moon was playing hide and seek, with the storm

Making travelers  to wish, they were home safe and warm

The candle’s light did flicker across my bare feet

As I stand here waiting my Sugar Sweet
