Songs of Night

Have you seen the fireflies? They dance with glee for all to see. They brighten the dusk and darkness flees the brilliance of their symphony. Have you heard the crickets’ song? They chant with delight all through the night. They celebrate twilight and shadow ‘till dawn, resounding the night’s endless carillon. Have you pondered the whippoorwill? They sing to their mates. A response each awaits --- embraced by the sound of each other's call, beginning their tune at start of nightfall. Do you know why the night must pass? It manifests a resonance, reminding us of excellence; that deep inside our souls is found a richer song on fertile ground.
