Midnight, Midmorn

Pleasurably aimless,
    this unhurried walk
        around midnight
           through softly undulating,
               dark-green landscape
                   of mist-moistened
                       late summer grass;

                                from a far-off bough
                                    the winds carry away
                                        the chirping
                                            of what may have been
                                                the first wakeful bird 
                                                    of dawn, or the last 
                                                        drowsy bird of the night!
