Creative Nights

The sun’s descent slowly approaches
Yellow fades into crimson delight
Before hues of violet paint the sky
As indigo quietly takes its place
Until only onyx can be seen

The sun has departed for the day
As stars twinkle in a grand gesture
They release the chaotic day’s movement
It’s silently tucked away in clouds
Held there in pockets of time passed

The satin sky whispers calm of peace
As the mind releases its anxiety
Time for creativity to drift and flow
Gather its images of passion’s paint
And swim in a sea of shimmering words

The moon illuminates the darkness
As it lights a pathway to wonder
A brilliant glow is cast down below
As cosmic forces sway so gently
That their presence is barely felt

As solace begins to fill the brain
Magic words float with poetic sounds
Inked on pages as the world slows
Their curves dance across plain blue lines
As they add interest to stark white pages

Creativity and inspiration float gently on your words to settle in my mind. Your words bring such peace and light with them. The night seems to glow in the poet's mind, as the cosmic forces come to play, making the world of words come alive on the page. Superb imagery, dear Poetic Beauty. The mind revels in the beauty of those midnight moments. You make one feel the limitlessness of inspiration. Loved it.

I’m glad you enjoyed this poem. Night time does seem to bring out the creativeness within my mind. I tend to write at night

Wow wow amazing sensory imagery :) I love when poets use colours, it always paints such a visual! Great work xo

[Poetic Beauty]

I often use color and sounds in my poetry. I think it helps engulf the reader in the piece that is being read. I’m so glad you loved the imagery in this poem!!

[John Sullivan]

Beautiful it is. I'm lacking words today, but I can't say enough how well done this is. Cheers

[Poetic Beauty]

It’s okay to lack in words some days!

Isn't it amazing how some ( not all ) of us human beings, poets especially, can and do through some blessed gift of psychospiritual creativity, gradually relax as our heartbeat seems to beat in sync with the becalming aura of dusk when the sun slowly sinks and the moon emerges, 'tis then our pens spill ink as we become inspired...

[Poetic Beauty]

Most of the time I write at night. Here and there I will write during the day but my day time poems differ from my night time ones. I think deeper at night when I’m relaxed

[Robert Trakofler]

This poem explores the connection between nature and creativity, and the power of the night to inspire and calm the mind, which I enjoyed reading..

Very beautiful descriptions too.
Your use of personification, quite lovely too... as the sky "whispers calm" and the words "float with poetic sounds."

You seem to have an affinity for night skies of late. Perhaps it is the ideal time for writing, freed as it is of the frantic pace often assumed by daytime.

I’ve always been a night owl. It’s my natural rhythm to be up til 2 am. I work second shift and I have mild anxiety and for some reason after 3 pm my overall body and mind seem to be calmer.

I also find the night time interesting mysterious and sensual. Most of the time I do write at night. I do deeper calmer thinking at night.
