Starlight (2)

The starlight singes,
Burns through my hand;
A glow, an ember fire,
Engulfs;

My hand reaches out,
Touches her face,
Pats her to sleep.

My hand reaches out,
Picks her,
Puts her on my shoulders;
Strong enough,
To carry her,
Another mile, with a smile.

Looking for,
A moonbeam next time…
