Dark night
Look closer
Stars bright
No sun
To fight.
New moon
Count begins
Another cycle
Raise gin
Please rest
Head din.
New moon
Quiet given
Birds sleep
We're driven
To bed
Blanket bidding.
New moon
Cold night
Even crows
Keep quiet
Shadows low
Pre-dawn delight.
Dreaming of
ReplyDeletedescent, black
wings flapping
at midnight,
the moon as
spotlight on
branch, trees
as creatures
of slumber

Thanks Kevin.
DeleteI feel/see the slumbering trees wake with dawn
Imperceptible stretches on the skyline
Leaves tremble and roots move just a little deeper
These gumtree giants, grounded yet reaching out
Fill me with humility in their grandeur.
