Summer nights are beautiful and almost magical
Around is a theater of the endless night sky
With the galaxy’s stars speckled across the sky
Shining clear and true in isolation from mankind
In the air lies a mellow tranquility
As the coolness from the heat of the day is a solace for all life
Furthermore, there is a refreshing quiet accompanying the darkness
In the background track a cricket chirps
With the sounds of life here and there sounding
Giant trees loom above
Serving to protect me like the walls of a fortress
As I lounge in this half broken, dusty lawn chair
I am on my island, my solitude from the worries of the world
Where I drift away
