In the stillness of the night I could hear the whisper'n wind As it rustled through the leaves And brushed warmth upon my face It beckoned me to listen To the calmness it imposed To help lay my mind at rest As I aimlessly wandered Calls of the night became heard As the crickets sang their tune In harmony with the wind and waves rolling on the shore The wind encompassed me The stillness over came me Bringing quiet to my soul In the stillness of the night [This message has been edited by WhtDove (edited 03-09-2001).] |

WhtDove - ah yes, the stillness of the night. Many thoughts have I pondered in this stillness, and some answers derived. The night stillness, one of my most favorite. BC |

When all my children were little, the peace of night stillness calmed and inspired me. Lovely poem...Hearing the crickets is like taking time to smell the flowers. |

Thanks for sharing, this medicine for the soul. Beautifully expressed! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

one of my fave ways to realax, love this Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

You're making me wish for summer Rebecca I love sitting out, late at night, lisening to the waterfall and crickets, even the trains, off in the distance, add to the serenity Very nicely written |

beautiful Angel, so serene and peaceful, I love it. Maree I may know the word but not say it I may know the truth but not face it I may hear a sound a whisper sacred and profound but turn my head indifferent. Natalie Merchant [This message has been edited by Dark Angel (edited 03-09-2001).] |

Beautiful and tranquil... Now if my co-workers have to listen to my lousy rendition of "I've got a peaceful, easy feeling" they'll have you to blame! LOL Well done, Dovey! |

Very peaceful and calm and inspired write! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
