Midnight Morning"
My eyes gaze upon beauties before me
Fireflies dance upon the July air
In all their wonder all I can do is stare
With each flicker they come and go
Crickets chirp and call to one another
In such a simple life even they will find a lover
Moonlit shadows pass through the trees
Casting pale silver reflections upon my eyes
And so I close them to the star covered skies
The wind brings a chill as I lay in the grass
Time slips away while I lay still and silent
Midnight is gone but the dawn brings violet
With pink streaks upon the vast horizon
A soft dew sparkles upon a nearby lily
And a rabbit bounds by looking rather silly
It hops about full of joy and life
And I know that I am like that too
Full of dreams and hopes to pursue
And before me the sun has risen
And I too must rise with the day
