Write about starless nights.

I used to work midnights and left for work. Sometimes, the moon was out. It would be big or a banana moon. Maybe there would be stars. Some nights, it was raining. These were starless nights. I like stars in the sky. It means we aren't alone and there is light. The sky looked so pretty. Starless nights. There was light from utility poles and peoples houses. A starless night was lonely. Maybe I would see plane lights. If there were stars at night and the moon, it helped me to be in a better mood to go to work. I miss seeing the sky at night since I retired. I still look out the window and it is nice to see stars shining at me. I love it.
