Midnight Serenade

The brilliant sun has faded
On the horizon hours ago
Its splendor of colors set
Drifting away as twilight slips past

Mystery paints the quiet sky
As onyx takes center stage
Adding an alluring flare
My tired eyes gazing in a trance

Glimmering dots shine brightly
My mind sailing into peace
It’s dark waters ripple slow
Moon soaked clouds on the black sea

An owl chants a nightly tune
Serenading the ancient sphere
Calling to its wild nature
As midnight draws silently near

Magnificent images created here PB, portraying the night sky, the subtle changes, the mystery of the color changes from dusk to darkness, the change in moods the moon, the stars….a perfect setting to settle one’s mind, peaceful cosmos, a meditative moment, to reflect; an owl’s hoot May interrupt, yet sometimes it’s a friendly exchange at midnight. Beautiful!
Warmly, B

I’m glad you really like this poem and the imagery within it. I am a lover of the nocturnal hours and write about it often

Perhaps I know that feeling. A silent night sky speaks in a million different languages. If those conversations deserve a return gift, then it will be this poem. I'm moved by the stunning imagery, gentleness, and the prodigious tone.

I enjoy watching the night sky and all its wonder. It’s calming and mysterious all at the same time.

I’m glad you liked that part of the poem. I get really creative with calling the sky a Black Sea. It’s one of my favorite lines in the poem.

A poetic beauty from a poetic beauty
there is no denying night's charms
each night we are serenaded by the neighboring owls
feeling all very personal

It’s enchanting and helps me calm my mind. I love looking at the stars and moon

Me too. You are welcome.

Lovely.
The dark, silent, wee hours heighten the senses and, if stressed or worried, can blow everything out of proportion, though this not realised until the bright light of a new days lightens the mind.
Good morning

During the wee hours of the morning is when I feel creative and more relaxed. The world is quieter and calmer. But I do have moments when my mind won’t shut off.
