Nature Bids Goodnight

Echos reflect off nature’s  beautiful sites
Warmth radiates as if in spectacular flight 
Mysterious moonbeams sparkle so bright
Kissing upon the horizons softly before night

Breezes caress each dew kissed leaf
The end of days much needed relief
Frozen moment in time being so brief  
Darkness teasing with sweet mischief

Mother Nature exhales a velvety sigh
As the sun bids a musical good-bye
The atmosphere sings it’s sweet lullaby 
Stars release their own muffled reply

Celestial bodies begin to gently glow
To produce nights soft sweet shadows
Rivers and streams speak in perfect flow
An ending to daylights spectacular show

A four-liner, with each former line rhyming with the following line...not an easy task. You managed it -- and managed it very well! Beautifully descriptive...lovely sounding poetry. In fond admiration. :) john
