When Night Falls Asleep

When it gets dark!

     When night falls asleep

     Wind chime stars in cobalt sky

     Ample moon round above

     A golden lamp of bright light

     Dark veils the earth in nighttime

     Fireflies dance in colors

     Crickets orchestrating music

     Mellow owls sing a song

     Wind whistles a jolly tune

     Silence suddenly falls like rain

      Then rest fills the air

      Eyes close slowly to slumber time

      Twilight dreams come true

       Breathing becomes more relaxed

       Night falls into a deep sleep

Have spent many a summer night sitting out with my wife and daughter as dusk turns to dark.
You describe this beautifully Kathy

Amazing creatures take over the nighttime and it can be a spectacular show; Owls hoot, crickets click, fireflies dance, wind whistles, frogs gurgle, cicadas scream; yet all of this is a symphony of love, of our earth; when silence falls in the forest, it's time to dream.
lovely!
Best, B

What a powerful time, so often shrouded in shadows, but flooded with life, with music, with the light of fireflies. Here we drift into dreams, and yet a world is awakening in wildness. Beautiful!

Very lovely, my favorite time is nightfall in the summer when all the insects sing, star gazing, dreaming, chillin’, can’t wait! I enjoyed this very much :)

Lately my dreams were nightmares. In dreams, we see tomorrow or we drown in sadness. Powerful and strong thoughts shared dear poet. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry dear friend.

I like your images. Sleeping nights dreaming of dancing fireflies. Crickets lead the silent song sung in the light of the dark. Wonderfully contradictory!

A feast of lovely imagery and sounds of the night. Love the hoot of the owl. Reassuring to know he is wide awake. Very nice posted image as well Kathy.
