Into the Night

Into the Night As I drift into a peaceful night slumber.. Sounds owned by the night, enter my chamber. Crickets chirp a tune to share.. From the corners of the dusk; filling the night air. The moon peers through the window, sprawling to the floor. Making slight shadows, for creating a frightening folklore. I hear little feet scurrying across the room. It was a mouse, I think; escaping his foredoom. Leaves from branches brush across the window screen. The night was proving to be more then it seemed. Moths flutter aloft a lighted street post. A slight breeze ascends the curtains, simulating a ghost! In the near distance, came the sound of a drummer. Then out of nowhere, a flash splits the darkness asunder! Rain patters down steadily on the worn rooftop. Then the night went placid leaving a picturesque backdrop. The smell of the rain renders me soporific. Slipping into a dream, I ponder on tomorrow nights frolics!
