My Night by Michael Under a night filled with lonely stars, I breathe salt air, listening to splashes made by schools of fish, leaping from the water to avoid a predator. With a quick motion, I spin and cast a net into the dark waters. Drawing it in, I find fish, squid, a crab, a few shrimp. I set them free, to journey through their night, as find a way through my own. An almost full moon sprinkles its ivory light upon the deep. I watch it dance and can’t help but appreciate its beauty. I catch a quick glimpse of moonlit feathers as a large bird of prey snatches an unwary fish, then once again becomes part of the darkness. Boats tied to the dock moan, as they move with the receding tide, longing to follow it to sea. Fireflies also sprinkle their own tiny lights, as I sit in peace, in thought, just resting.

Rest, Sweet Friend for these are the things we need to enjoy and cherish. The little beauties that God provides for us. This is beautiful, Micheal. |
