It’s a starry summer’s night in August
Moon shinning brightly in a cloudless sky.
Clusters of stars together like stardust
Shooting stars cross in a blink of an eye.
Water sparkles, as moonbeams run across
Mountains in the distance, holds the echoes.
Pebbles skip, skillfully though crystal gloss
being eaten alive by mosquitoes.
Croaking of tree frogs heard in the distance
Crickets chirping with melodious harmony.
We walk home, as moonlight give assistance
Leaving behind natures own symphony.
Late August night air has turned cool
Taking our last Look at the starry jewels.

Great Imagery
I get the feeling of being there reading this piece. The only thing I would say is that some punctuation may improve this because when I was reading this, some of it made no sense, until I re-read it, pausing at the end of some of the lines. Great write though.

Beautiful write. This has beautiful imagery and has a sense of peacefulness. Wonderful flow. I liked the last line. Seemed like a very beautiful description of the stars in the sky. Thanks so much for the comment on "Continue To Fly". I appreciate it.
