Mother of Night

Mother of Night
 
the mother of night
 
gives birth to the stars
with a mere kiss
 
and the moon doth glow
upon her lovely wish,
 
she speaks to the night owls
and loons alike, but by morn
 
she's gone to vanish

My favorite style:

Explaining the universe in a few words.
Anyone who can speak of the night and stars
and the coming of the day, in one breath, is some kind
of genius who has written a classic poem here.

Although only a few words are used, the meaning is crystal
clear, the message flowing like ice water from a spring .
The spring flowing from a mountain of wisdom.

Beautiful writing !

Concise and quite brilliant. I enjoyed the use of sacred language when referencing night and the moon. The piece has an excellent sleepy feel to it. Great piece.

Cheers!

Wonderful work here James! So very well penned!

We always know the mother of night will be back to check with us. Looking forward to every night's gifts - the moon, the stars, and sometimes - the sun stays set in the background - these are beautiful gifts.

There is a very celestial feeling to this poem. A certain gratitude for Mother Nature.

Your writing skills blossom each time I read your work. You are awesome!

Such a great write!
These lines in particular leapt out:
"she speaks to the night owls
and loons alike, but by morn

she's gone to vanish"

Truly wonderful!
