Bite



Smiling twinkles in the sky
Appearing beautiful so far high
Working together for a vision
Beside us in every decision

The moody background, secrets untold
Science teasing and stories told
Glitter scattered in the heavens
Measure of math, sevens and elevens

Down here the biting cold sends
A shiver to mankind and all his friends
Winter weeps to a frozen few
My eyes are drawn and stuck like glue

The silence echoes all around
An aircraft being the only sound
Cloud free with a display of starlight
Perfect moments as the evening continues to bite
