Midnight Musings

It's one in the morning. My mind tends to wander.

Rolling green hills
A sleepy breeze
The quiet rustling
Of the drowsy trees
A setting sun
Seems so distant
Just like sweet memories-
As I become reminiscent
Twilight falls gently
As I lay in the grass
I sigh quietly to myself
These thoughts won't pass
I'm was lost in myself
Bitter memories inside
I was running from the past
With nowhere to hide
Sweet darkness cloaked all
As shady Night is here
And the opalescent moon
Illuminates all I hold dear
I admire the luminous stars
As they light up the night sky
And softly warm my soul
Creates a feeling I can't deny
An awakening inside
As I saw the beauty above
So delicate, so fragile
As pure as a dove
I sat up in the meadow and drew a breath
As I listening to the symphony of Night
I could dream again, believe again -I found my lost hope
I found everything had finally been set right.

I love those pensive moments at the early hours of the day...they could consume me for hours and hours and hours..I totally feel with you.. "I was lost in myself/bitter memories inside/I was running from the past/with nowhere to hide".

But I love how everything comes together in the end, the hopefulness and the possibility of dreaming again. All under the luminous stars...a wonderful ending.

Thanks! It really means a lot to me when someone takes the time to review my poems. Aha, yes! I was trying to capture the idea of self-discovery and realization with the simple concept of enjoying the nighttime(:
