Poem

Darkness enfolded me in an ebony blanket
Of soft nocturnal feelings, whispers of wisdom
Shading my world with blackest reminiscences
Gentle insights into reflections of a promise
Phenomenal grace captivating my senses
~
As the night envelops me in it’s shroud of dusk
I notice one mysterious creature who is so alone
She perches firmly upon an old oak tree’s branch
Resolute in her purpose to be the wise bird
Amid the nightly visitors of this silent place
~
Mystery surrounds her with it’s fiery glow
Swathing her in a delicate light of richest hope
Alone, she makes a statement of all she stands for
Loneliness, melancholy, wisdom and cryptic peace
Sagacity suits her spirit and colors her in inspiration
~
Shaded in the obscurity of the blackest evening
Moon and stars glisten close to the heavens
Leaving her with thoughts of pure enchantment
Blessed dreams call out to her with their delights
Leaving her with anticipation for the journey in sight
~
Twilight brings her out to the limbs where she lives
To give off her wise old chant of “who who who”
And leaves the other nocturnal creatures with the assurance
That she knows the best way and shows them truth
Which graces their nighttime realm with true prudence
~
As the dusky black sky changes to a dark thick enough to cut
I am reminded why I love to see this majestic creature
A shrewd and clever fowl who desires nothing more than
The harmony and calm of a silent night to encourage her
With beliefs in God’s universe being filled with graceful reveries
~
Breathing through the murky clouds drifting across the heavens
I am blessed to see her for who she truly is, a beautiful creature
Mystifying and enigmatic, sighing out echoes of prayers for peace
Amid the place where she rests her impressive breast against
The solid bark of this grand old tree who calls out for her dignity
