A Beautiful Night

As shadows meld into darkness, The stars come out to play, To dispel the inky starkness, The full moon sheds its ray; A lone wolf howls in restlessness, An owl hoots far away, Nature slumbers in listlessness, As trees droop in dismay; It's surely a beautiful night, Peaceful and lulling me, Stardust and moondust set alight My dreams as shadows flee. 16th November 2022
