Moonlit Path

Night falls and draws the dark curtain
On things that are, and things that were
Owl calls, her silent wings unheard
Will timid vole the daylight see
On leathered flight, no need for sight
The bat detects the insect drone
And so alone dewpond reflects
The crescent moon that wanes too soon
In forest hush your blanket leaves
And dappled beams on shadowed face
And is love lost within the maze
As tangled brambles tear your skin
Till surely there a moonlit path
Weaves to your door, to stay once more

As always, you paint a beautiful word picture for your fans and passer-by's.

Michael

It really is another world at night isn't it but it's quite fascinating all the things that are happening out there in nocturnal world of the animal kingdom.

This is quietly beautiful. Loved it!
