Beauty and the Night

Distracted by the singing birds as I lay down every night, so I decided to write something creative and full of their delight.

I love the sounds the birds make at night.
Violins chirping to the sky.
Colors of the ocean floating high,
As the sun closes its eyes.
A man on the moon sits patiently, hoping to catch a falling star with his hooked line,
But he just stares at his reflection in the ocean of the night.
When the sun closes its eyes,
so do I,
But who keeps watch with the lonely moon?
Tucked in, and away so high...
Is it the shadow of the sun? That accompanies the moons dead light?
How could a shadow introduce such sight?
Let me show you,
Close your eyes...
Soon you too will love the sounds
The birds make at night.

This poem made me so calm. I really love the flow of it. I live in NY right next to a train station and it's always loud here but this poem reminds me of when I went upstate and how beautiful it was and all the sounds of the night. It really puts you right there

Oh, I really loved this poem. :) I liked the sun closes it's eyes. I saw the world grow dim and I saw the man on the boat sitting on a stream of light from the moon. I'd almost start the poem, "Violins chirping in the sky." or in the night sky. Pulls me right in the poem.Just a thought, but it's beautiful the way it is.

One more thing, I really liked how you asked us to close our eyes. I could hear the birds.

Thank you for sharing,

Jennifer

I love the night... it is so mysterious and has hidden beauties that most don't understand. A brilliant little poem.
