Silent Applause

The Three Tenors- of the woods.

The busy day used up its light.

And, with the setting Sun-

fell the Night.

A misty curtain covers the stage-

while forest creatures line the way.

A twinkling star directs their path,

And a wise old Owl conducts the band.

-as if queued -

 the Moon beams bright .

Creating an alleyway 

to start the night.

An Eastern breath removes the veil.

and a landing loon swishes his tail.

A whippoorwill saunters to its post.

While the shy sleek dove sings alone.

Soon the three meld into one,

as "The Tenors," of the woods,

regale us in song. 

Sorrow pours from this piece, 

And with morning light

The grass will gleam.

Moistened by the sorrowful notes.

The tears of the forest

becomes a silent applaud.

What a wonderful tale, fit for any Prince or princess' bedtime to let them fall into happy night night dreamy sleeps.
I shall keep an eye out for their Cd and World tour 😊
