On A Balmy Summers Night

On A Balmy Summers Night

A Poem by Gee
"

Just simple words

"
Shooting stars 'cross ink black sky
the pallid moon looked on,
a breeze roused sleeping summer leaves
but briefly, then was gone.

A fox bark echoed, trailed away
through spinny and beyond,
nothing stirred, the lillies slept
atop the night stilled pond.

'cross barleyed acres all at peace
through farmyard ever on,
silence played on balmy night
a symphony an' song.

'Til sunrise lit the eastern sky,
then man stirred, woke again,
serenaded soft to 'nother day
by bird calls sweet refrain.

How beautiful this life we live
what wonders to behold,
more beauty found in nature's gifts
than platinum and gold

I think the 4th. stanza is perfect, and a good addition as it brings man into the scene along with the images of nature. Your words flow; all 'tis lovely!!

My pleasure Gee
I would love to be able to write so eloquently before jotting off. It takes me so long, and even then I'm not always right.

I like every verse of this. You speak of a place I would love to stay. :)
