Night Time Serenade

You can hear the wind, nestling against the trees. The leaves flutter gently, moving softly with the breeze. A distant cricket churps, singing its cheeful tune. Shadows dance in the woods, outlined by a crescent moon. The river winding silently, as soft trickling touches the ear. A possum rustling in the leaves, so far, and yet so near. The owl loudly cries out, a warning to all around. He is protecting his terroitory' he will fight for his ground. A deer approaches with head held high, he points his nose, sniffs the air, as antlers stand straight, pointing toward the sky. The snake crawls belly first, searching for a darkened hole. A mouse runs to hide, escaping the dredded mole. The sounds of each, join in harmony together, to make the woods a hidden glade. All of Gods little creature's, perform the "Night time Serenade."
