Darkness loomed ahead of day
The chill of evening fast approaching
Nature’s creatures crept away to hide
The howls of predators soon encroaching
Tree limbs swayed in poetic motion
The summer wind a trusted friend
Water trickled slowly along a brook
A sense of bigger things around the bend
Night time splendor hidden in black
Enjoyment from sound not sight
Stillness provided by the heavens above
Long overlooked by mankind at night
