A pure clear Maine sky
opened above us, as the fire
died,
cabin lights dimmed.
We watched planes,
satellites,
many shooting stars
and the streak of the Milky
Way
Course across the dome
of the clear night
Quiet around the still
campfire,
echoes of the native drum
Pulsing through us
as the night grew dim
