Midnight

As Midnight awakes
There’s darkness to embrace
Still — a witness to this thrill—
It’s dark, and lovely—albeit the chill

The Nocturne’s come to life—
From every walk — my, how they surprise
Far enough, though just in sight—
These stars shine bright, all through the night

While some may dream—
Streams, heaven, and other things—
Waning, waxing, full or new—
The clock strikes 12—the day begins, anew

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
