Moon madness

The bustle of human life starts to become muffled

and then is muted altogether

Quiet

All form of sound is swallowed into a gaping abyss of silence

The constant chatter of daytime abruptly lost in the void of night

Bliss

The feeling of complacency crashes over me in tremendous waves

And I allow this primordial embodiment of silence to take control

Silence

Stars overhead, like fine holes being poked through the fabric of the nighttime sky

The almost mournful, milky light of the full moon encasses the world in a silver film

Ecstasy

Mind meshing with the very essence of the night

I spin in endless circles, barefoot in the cool grass, rejoicing in the hypnotic silver light

Realization

As the silvery light dissolves into nothingness, it is replaced by the peachy rays of dawn

And I come to the understanding that my peaceful moment of silence and repose

 

Is over

Such a feeling of relaxation and awe as you take us into the night. Vivid imagery brings a beautiful picture, bursting into the mind's eye.

"The feeling of complacency crashes over me in tremendous waves
And I allow this primordial embodiment of silence to take control" - those lines are my feelings as I read this piece.

"As the silvery light dissolves into nothingness, it is replaced by the peachy rays of dawn" - it's, almost, a let down to see the dawn coming, but at the same time, it's refreshing because of the beauty lent by the intermission of the night.

FABULOUS - definitely a favorite for me :)

"Silence
Stars overhead, like fine holes being poked through the fabric of the nightime sky
The almost mournful, milky light of the full moon encasses the world in a silver film"

Hey i really enjoyed this poem Its very well structures easy to read. Beautiful use of the "ONE word sentence" it helps the reader take a breath in their mind and also allows us to compare the emotions we gain from each word.
I am not sure if you meant this but i notice a little story in its self by those one word sentences.
Quiet, Bliss, Silence, Ecstasy and Realization.
Very nice loved these words although maybe change Silence?
Anyways a 97 rating giving this and ill do a read request to all my friend to read this too.
If you get some time take a look at some of my poetry.
