We were sending off sky lanterns in honor of my mother-in-law. We hadn't heard about the showers and it was an unexpected wonder-filled surprise to catch the sky show from the pier on such a perfectly clear, still night. The calm in your post and in Rilke's words captures the feeling precisely. <br />Christy Rush-Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581876400990779210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-70878699568472440982012-08-19T07:40:35.050-06:002012-08-19T07:40:35.050-06:00We had clouds this year, so no Perseid.

I was up before dawn sitting out in my backyard admiring the sky. I have to say though, unlike Rilke, I didn't see that many stars and I am not feeling particularly safe these days. I am in a rough patch over here, and hoping for better days ahead. Thanks for sharing this poem!

If you wanted to share the whole thing, I think you can. <br />Your Perseid parties sound wonderful. I'm glad you have those memories to visit.
