Night In A Hush

I rest in eve' s ambrosial scent 
beneath gold veils of summer spent ,
Where midnight flickers through the trees
   and twinkles float upon the breeze :

 I hush and whisper of content
to catch a night in soft descent ;
In starlit throbs they  gently beat 
   A day's finale... I entreat.

There's no flaw here that I observe
as clouds become a softened curve --
   This quiet pass to hours which sway, 
beaming ,  pulsing... hallowed display.

I hold my breath in great respect 
this spectacle so fully decked;
But rich and hushed about all things
   which night and all her glory  brings.

Nette, this should be read slowly while soft music plays ... a very meditative read.
