Evening Peace

Thoughts at the end of the day ....

The evening drifts into the night

Subtle changes welcoming the approaching gloom

Shadows of day become the shades of night

Apprehensive …… then emboldened as the moon appears

The tree’s ghostly appearance sharpened by the moonlight

As the gentle breeze sways it’s branches to and fro

Footsteps ring out with a clarity not heard in the daytime

Laughter and amiable sounds float in the distance

The night can bring fear and peace

As the silence settles like a blanket on the world

A quiet gentle write that carries the scene clearly and unbroken to your readers. You captured the mystique and mystery of the shades of night and the clarity of silence to clear footfalls may be heard from far away.

A peaceful and calming poem.

Thank you

This strikes me like you have written this in olden times. You have been looking out of the barn window of your home where everything is peace and tranquility and seen this wonderful picture. Loved it!
