Of The Night
Of The Night
What does the silence of night hear?
The rustle of leaves, the hum of old towns,
The chirping of crickets, conversations of friends
Music of the heavens, mournful symphony of the heart,
What does the darkness of the night see?
The light of the moon, the din on the streets,
The shining of stars, burning of fires,
Peace of the skies, the fear of the unknown,
The cries of the broken, the love between lovers.
What does the cold of the night feel?
The warmth of bodies,
The bated breath of stargazers,
The smell of the woods,
The breaking of dawn,
The mist of mornings,
The awakening of the world,
The end of a story.
