Into Night's Dwelling

There is a night so starry bright I recall with such pleasure it was in the middle of summer the day had been a hazy hot one I was in the wilds of Exmoor sat quietly enjoying the solitude as dusk lengthened into night so the heavens light up with moonlight No human noises up here to intrude listening I hear first the sheep odd whinny from a horse or two as my ears attune I pick up much more The whisper of wings as bats and owls fly by mystical shapes appear from the mundane I am transported and transfixed by it all the crowning glory a stag backlit on the hill top ah night you do enchant my very being I love to roam or ride your shadowy countryside to see the world in your stunning luminous light the shades of which change by the hour night I honour you and your mystic way here in your dwelling my head I lay and watch in wonder the unicorns as at play they stray my dreams written 01/12/2014 by Shadow Hamilton title: Into Night's Dwelling contest: Into Night's Dwelling
