Camping Nights

I came out of our tent one night

Awaken from asleep

I bent my knees and started to walk

While tiptoeing my feet

I was disturbed by sparkling lights

Staring ahead of me

Countless stars I had seen

Winking back at me

I looked up straight at the sky

It was filled with dinky whites

They all appeared as little dots

Like carved up in the sky

I stared for about a minute

It caught out my attention

I wondered what made them best of all

‘Til I really felt the sensation

Other people may think on crazy ideas

Like about a shooting star

Where all you need to do is ask

For money or for a car

My murmuring was broken

When thick clouds started to stretched out

Other stars were caught by

As thunder began to shout

The wind began to change

And started sweeping on the ground

The campfire had burnt out itself

The roaring sound turned loud

Even the wind was too angry

And our tent almost split upon

But woods were tied and buried deep

Still standing ‘til it was gone

It was almost early morn

When I realized about the time

It took me for a little while

To look up straight and smile

I laid my back against the plat

I blew out the hanging lamp

I said to myself,

I had the best camp!
