Days End

an indian flute
                                        echoes across the valley
                                            as twilight decends

                                          creatures of the light
                                   now seek shelter for the night.
                                         a horned owl ascends
     
                                         the pace of life slows
                                   hunters of the night now roam
                                         looking for their prey

                                         the air fills with dew
                              as moonlight peeks through the trees
                                      night's replaced the day

I had soundscapes playing on my TV lastnight and a native american was playing a flute. There were birds calls in the background and my mind took off and this is where it went. Thanks for the kind review Huggs TLee

Hello so glad that you enjoyed my little piece. I bet you would get a kick out of a poem I have called Awe Shucks or even Vexation. I think you will find them a bit different. May someone spill laughter on your doorstep and it infect your whole day. TLee
