A Midnight's Walk

Just a little ditty that I wrote when a friend and I were playing improv poetry.

Walking up a moonlit path, amidst a darkened sky,

Watching as the birds gently sleep, and the fireflies brightly fly.

Resting for a moment, on a stump of wood,

Staring at the stars above,  I suddenly understood,

That I was so small, in a world so vast and wide.

And only a loving God could let me here reside.

Because I am undeserving of a gift so high,

 

Of the stars so bright, the sleeping birds, and the fireflies that fly.

An awakening to the vastness of creation and the greatness that is God. When gazing up at the stars we all get this intense feeling of insignificance, until we remember that 'not a sparrow falls...' Nicely written.

beautifully put, i chose this one becuase of the name, as i like to wander at night myself, and i could see in my mind the walk you took, relaxedly and non rushed, staring at the sky and realizing our minuteness, perfect for this night! thanx!

This is what you wonderful words inspired me to write.

These roses that surround you
The fragrance that flows through you

Amidst Gods Painted Sky!

His arms embrace you
Walking with you
Alongside you

This nights midnight moon
Showers you with love
The warmth in your heart
Is felt by every falling star

Beautiful. Taking nothing for granted in this life. This is smooth flowing. I like it.

[Chad Halle]

this flows wonderfully, especially since you say it was written while you were improvising. can really sing this; great job.
