Silence of sparse night skies
Spilling down into
abandoned fields.

This one resonates with me deeply. I really like the way you captured the passage of time in a singular scene.

It's like the life cycle of a person, from wonder looking at the skies, all the way to abandonment in old age, with nobody to see you disappear (die). Life in a nutshell!

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." - Sarah Williams

Three short lines an yet i am instantly catapulted into a seat on anyone of the numerous bus rides home i have been on, could be from work or a night out but on all lost in the window gripped by the scenes as the flash through your life.
