The evening sings …its gentle song
The stars the choir… the moon looks on
A breeze fulfilling …whispers now
And gently calms by anguished brow

The trees sway to the rhythm soft
I slowly cast my eyes aloft
My heart pounds quietly to the beat
The sound of treading …nature’s feet

An Owl in harmony joins the call
Creatures scamper……. to the fall
Of gold hewed leaves their summer gone
As silence sinks the day is done

As daytime borrows nights black veil
Silver horizons clouding pale
It wraps itself in soft moonlight
And seeks the solace of the night

I too seek……refreshing sleep
And in my heart my secrets keep
And when the dawn casts night away
With joyous soul I’ll greet the day

And once again to tread the path
To sing life’s’ song to raise the staff
To greet the day…. a journeys start
To live it with impatient heart
