Whisper to me winsome wind of night... Romance me with your guile of pale moonlight. Let me hear the ocean's melody Singing softly to set my spirit free. Night blooming Jasmine scent the humid air... Serenely, I'll enjoy night without a care. Oh night with stars aglow, this feeling you instill, Such ambience to free my heart, my will... To uncloak the stringent shadows of the day... I surrender; let any sad emotions steal away. Connie Marcum Wong © 6-12-16 Night Silence Poetry Contest Sponsor Nayda Ivette Negron N/A

I would recite that to any sleep-ready child (or adult). Nice bedtime rhyme. :-)

Truly beautiful writing, Connie; love the imagery. Love the art is well! Is this a painting of yours? They go perfectly together. Thank you for sharing.

No, I wish. God Bless Google. I can usually find just the picture I want from them. I write my poem first then search for an image to fit it and I usually get lucky. Thank you Joe. ; )

Like your previous poem 'waves', this one also relates to the ocean song. You present such a lovely picture...wind, sea, stars, moon; ideal to transmit overpowering emotions. I like "To uncloak the stringent shadows of the day..." gl in the contest, Connie...and have a lovely week! // paul

Thank you very much Paul. I went through a dry spell, but I think my muse is back. Nights here are only about ten degrees cooler and they are lovely so we can swim at night if so inclined. Cheers, Connie ; )
