A cloudless night

A cloudless night like this,
can set the spirit soaring
Because it shows me
the beauty of the stars
Because it shows me
the light, even in the dark
It urges me
to be patient.
For, under that darkness
in my mind,
are hidden gems
waiting
to be sprinkled as glitter
in tales
yet to be born
Wait, it seems to say,
for the wind of change
Wait, it seems to say,
for the words to flow
Wait,  it says,
For the darkness to show
The magic that lies within.
**************************************
A spontaneous effort for the prompt "A cloudless night like this can set the spirit soaring' at Keith from Keith's Ramblings has come up an interesting prompt site, "Carry On Tuesday"
(This week our prompt is the opening line of A Walk After Dark by W. H. Auden
A cloudless night like this can set the spirit soaring
Use it at the start or somewhere within your verse or prose. .)
