cool night breezes, cooler than the night before
darkness hushes the breath of fall
like drizz'ling rain quiets the forest floor
ere the sun-lit rays ever come to call

and hopes dampen 'fore the morning breaks
as silence o'ertakes its soft refrain
and gives and gives yet never takes
shadow-shelters from a misting rain

while the nightsongs whisper in a hushed, low voice
while the soft calls linger like a lullaby
when being in the midst is a certain choice
watching clouds dance and drift 'cross the sky

like old-maid patrons at a fancy ball
waiting for a dreamspace curtain call

cool breezes blowing, night lights glowing
rain's refreshing like a quick redressing

labored late breezes on a cool night, fall

Night takes on a laquer this time of year.
The chill is almost icing on the grass.
The best for cuddling up in front of good fire, good wine...good book. Good write!

I love the night, I am a night person!!!
~All the fresh cool winds and the meadows flowers moving back and forth, and you're one with the full moon
~and all is silent~
That is a night to remember~

Good night to all! It's time for me to hit the bed! and dream about everything about the meadow! thank you for this wonderful write and thoughts before bed, I hope it brings a nice picture into my head tonight!

"shadow-shelters from a misting rain"

Very cool phrase here.

I adore fall, it is just so crisp, and you have represented here well in your uniquely romanticized way.

Enjoyed!

Janette

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same
