Night

Night, 
appearing with frosty silence
becomes engulfed
in the valley of dreams,
soundless,
images,
a continuous film
of whirling silence,
mixed
with past and future.
The  night 
has its own tunes
of hidden and restless 
desires.

There is a certain mystery that accompanies the night. It has "its own tunes." My backyard owl will confirm that. And I love the reference to "the valley of dreams." I was hoping to visit that valley tonight, but dreams don't always come when needed. Excellent write, Gert! Love, Carolyn
