(one of my nature poems, aimster) the stars floated in their deep black sea like wooden ships of days of old gently moving from one point to the next. and a gentle wind wisped and played grabbing autumn leaves fresh fallen from trees and took them on a loopy ride to their final resting place. and quietly i sat there under an old, wide oak listening to the everpresent symphony of the creatures of the night: a croak in the black distance, spiny legs rubbing together to rival Paginini, the low hoot of nature's oboe. and i sighed a deep sigh of exhaustion and rested my weary eyes a bit thinking how happy i was to be alive. |

Rich, This is so serene. I loved this. Nature and animal poems have always been my favorites. Sheila ...the earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the measure of our bodies are the same........... Joseph, Nez Perce Chief |

the imagery has captured the moment of that night under the stars forever... this is indeed a tresured poem to keep "What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies." -Aristotle |

rich-pa--Wonderful imagery!! You've painted a beautiful picture. "Unto thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night, the day; thou cans't not be false to any man."---Shakespeare |

I could see you floating there The deep night surronding The calls The wet water The drifting boat A scene so calming and serene Joy Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old time is still a-flying, And this same flower that smiles today To-morrow will be dying. -Robert Herrick |
