In The Moonlit Night
I wished I could talk to the stars
As I walked alone in the moonlit night,
The light of the passing by cars,
Enhanced the beauty of the sight.
I sat down on the grass by the street
To add a few pages to my old sketchbook.
But you suddenly came to meet,
Perfectly letting me off the hook.
Now I walked with you
To live the best day of my life.
Everything began anew
The moment you asked me to be your wife.
I always wished to be the brightest star
But now I realise that all stars shine.
As I walked with you in the moonlit night
Everything turned out to be just fine.

Your poem is as beautiful as moonlight and stars and everything in between. One of the most evocative poems I've read in a while. Good job!
