Zyrool Gifford Poet Rhyme

In the Silence of Night

As the last of the day’s clouds disappeared,
The moon, like a guard, boldly appears.
Shining her soft glow over everything 
in a single sweep.
Tired souls miss it all, for in the 
silence of the night, tired souls crave sleep.

Flickering and dancing like fireflies, thoughts unfurl,
Some into nightmares and some 
into dreams,
Tired souls become entangled in a 
trance,
Tossing and turning, losing their 
stance.

Unable to find peace, unable to heal,
In the silence of the night, hearts race.
As if from a fight, sweat drips from the face.
In the silence of the night, to a tired 
soul, everything feels so surreal.

Valsa George July 21, 2025 at 10:12 PM People who are tired from work and tensed with worries do not have the mood to enjoy the moon appearing at night in all her radiance. They may be craving for rest and sleep. A stark truth beautifully presented, Zyrool. How I wish, if everyone had a mental disposition to enjoy the beauty of nature.
