Midnight In Sitka Park

The silence of the park, seizes the hour of dusk, where majestic snow-capped mountains adjoin the skies of midnight blue, a halo of light encircles the quiescent scene highlighting a child's red jacket left behind on the end of the slide, the playground is the sanctuary of childhood beginning and childhood ending----it is where laughing and yelling are allowed to be, especially at midnight when the spirits of frolicsome adventure overtake the child in all of us.

Franklin, thank you for your frolicsome comment. Sitka Park is a city park in Anchorage, Alaska. I was inspired to write this poem after seeing a photograph of a child's red jacket left behind on a slide at the end of a day of play. ~ Sonia
