Shimmering
in the blanket of blue,
my eyes search
for hidden meaning
between the glowing stars.
Turning to see,
next to me
on the soft green grass
your many smiles.
The chill of the
night autumn wind
brushes my hair
as I remember
all of the happy times
that we have been friends.
The music
in the orange and yellow leaves
tumbling in the slow breeze
dances with the colors in the sky.
For a brief instant,
the moon is absent
in the darkness,
hidden behind
the silver clouds,
and I loose sight
of your face.
But that is not a sight
that can ever be forgotten
in the ever ending night.

I like where you went with the word bank. It was well worded and the shorter lines helped the flow. This gave me a very happy feeling. Thanks for entering.
